    Stumbled into an escaping-related, medium–high security vulnerability in 3 (!) minifiers today:

    * Fixed and also officially reported in HTML Minifier Next (upgrade to 7.5.2!)
    * Reported via security-related channels to the other two minifiers (first time to rely on SECURITY.md—useful)

    It came up while reviewing and rerunning benchmarks across minifiers, but wasn’t the find to expect (a vulnerability that existed between 8 months and… 10 years).

    Web page minification:

    HTML Minifier Next is almost a year old now, coming with security updates, bug fixes, new features, and *significantly* better performance than its predecessors.

    Now I strongly recommend to update—HTML Minifier (HM) and HTML Minifier Terser (HMT) have severe bugs and gaps around HTML and CSS minification.

    Please do your own tests, but note that HM is officially unmaintained and HMT hasn’t been updated in years:

    HTML minification:

    Would it be useful for you if a minifier came with the option to report obsolete and proprietary HTML code?

    I’m thinking about adding a report option to HTML Minifier Next which would enable this.

    If you have a preference or feedback, this would help! (Please reshare for more input!)

    HTML Minifier Next now comes with a zero-config mode, to enable quick, comprehensive in-place minification.

    🖥️ Run `npx html-minifier-next --zero` in any folder, to compress HTML pages and inline CSS, JS, and SVG with comprehensive defaults.

    (The command shares the internals and can be aborted. To test, use under version control.)

    RE: mas.to/@frontenddogma/11607360

    After looking at the minifier benchmarks landscape with Kirill Maltsev (htmlnano), I’ve set up a new repo to collaborate on benchmarks.

    Extending samples, splitting HTML and “full” minification, adding deltas and averages have already improved the picture.

    Comments and reshares welcome!

    Relatively to itself, HTML Minifier Next is by now 4–6 times faster (!) than when the project started (and, therefore, its predecessors).

    This comes in addition to maintained dependencies, bug fixes, and new features.

    HTML Minifier Next now provides the option to change JS minifiers, by adding support for SWC 🚀

    To change from Terser to SWC, specify the engine for `minifyJS` as in

    `minifyJS: {
    engine: 'swc'
    }

    and install @swc/core as a dev or main dependency (`npm i @swc/core`).

    Enjoy significantly faster performance on JS-heavy HTML pages!

    If you're a HTML Minifier (HM) or HTML Minifier Terser (HMT) user, I suggest to have a look at HTML Minifier Next (HMN).

    HMN:

    * includes security updates and bug fixes
    * provides additional configuration options (including presets)
    * is faster
    * comes with a more comfortable web version
    * is run by someone who ❤️s HTML

    HMN is generally compatible with HM and HMT.

    * npm: npmjs.com/package/html-minifie
    * GitHub: github.com/j9t/html-minifier-n
    * Web: j9t.github.io/html-minifier-ne
