The majority of the web pages of the internet today are
|
|
much larger than they need to be. The reason for this is
|
|
that HTML tends to be stored in a human readable format, with
|
|
indenting, newlines and comments.
|
|
|
|
However, all of these comments, whitespace etc. are ignored by
|
|
the browser, and needlessly lengthen download times.
|
|
|
|
Second, many people are using WYSIWYG HTML editors these days.
|
|
This makes creating content easy. However these editors can
|
|
cause a number of compatibility problems by tying themselves to
|
|
a particular browser or operating system.
|
|
|
|
The HTML::Clean module encapsulates a number of HTML optimizations
|
|
and cleanups. The end result is HTML that loads faster, displays
|
|
properly in more browsers. Think of it as a compiler that
|
|
translates HTML input into optimized machine readable code.
