HTML minify does not minify CSS Menu Icon

Bug Reports
1

HTML minify does not minify CSS Menu Icon. Instead of FontAwesome, I use CSS Menu Icon, which is essentially an SVG file, inserted inline into the HTML page.

When I export this with “HTML Minify” option checked, it minifies all the HTML code except the SVG code for CSS Menu Icon

I know this isn’t really the answer you are looking for, and I would assume that the html minify in bss can’t minify svg (technically a different language?) but have you tried using something like https://www.svgminify.com/ and put that into the page?

HTML Minify in BSS is pretty basic. It just removes CR and LF characters. Nothing fancy :sweat_smile: So, I just manually can remove the new lines for the insert SVG (which is really inline XML, not different language).

I tried various rigorous minifying mechanisms and found that I save < 5% with rigorous minifying. For compressed files, the savings are even less: 2-3%.

So not worth it!

Minifying code on ordinary websites is basically useless in terms of speeding up the page load.
