crunching down html

[playa]

i remember a website or software that can reduce the size of your website...

it optimize all graphics and html to reduce the bytes........anyone know where i can get it?

Unfortunately those kind of programs are not working so good, I tested couple of them and fucked html code big time, ST counter code was not working anymore, email boxes were fucked also ...
So I dont think it's really worthing to use such a program. Best is to try yourself to shrink the code with notepad, in this way you are 100% sure html will still work

I have that on my dreamweaver but it does mess up other codes like java and makes all tables and almost everything else format to the right side of the page. best way to do it is learn raw html and pull out the junk.

Those things don't work just open up your html in notepad and mess with it try to take out as much worthless stuff as you can and page still works fine thats the best way

Use this one to optimize your graphics : http://www.xat.com/ - called Image-Optimizer. They have a free 30 day try. I can reduce small thumbs from 4 -> 1Kb with hardly any quality loss.

Hey,

this may be obvious, but try using a stylesheet if you dont mind the site looking
a bit wrong for users with non css browsers.

For example, if you have a table where
you want all text in the cells to have a
set font and color, instead of using font
tags for each cell, give the cell a css ID
and make a stylesheet ID that sets the colors
and font

example: ([] = <> )

Text here

Instead of:

Text here

For a big table this cuts a lot down on the page size.

If you want all text that is not in other tags formatted a certain way,
give the BODY tag a css id, saves you from
having to use a font tag for all text on
the page.

Also use single letter folder and file
names,like

/i/d/1.jpg

instead of /images/decoration/thumbnail1.jpg

Use [B] instead of [strong], try to use
the shortest tags that does the job.

You can cut page sizes in half doing it like this.

And last but not least, never use frontpage http://adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif
