1. HTML Optimizer saves 10 to 15% of space on your web pages by removing unnecessary characters and tags. Though this may seem a small improvement, load time savings is much higher as your client's Internet browser parses the pages more efficient.
Embedded script code is not ruined by HTML Optimizer!
Your original pages remain untouched for later updating. New text files are
created with same Creator as original and are put in a folder named "Optimizer Output".
Warning: Take care that you do not replace your original HTML pages with optimized ones because you may find it very difficult to edit them when returns have been removed.
2. Another useful function of HTML Optimizer is checking the socalled tagged pairs, i.e. the tags that always have to appear together with their end tags, for example <FORM>...</FORM>. All dangling tags are reported.
Further, the IMG tags are checked for the presence of the Width, Height and Alt attributes. The Width and Height attributes help the browser to build up the page faster because it can reserve the necessary room for the image while placing the text. The Alt attributes make your pages more user-friendly.
3. The Mark function does the same as the Check function, but produces new files with the incomplete tags marked with the character Ñ, so that you can easily find them for fixing.
4. The Convert function takes care that special characters between ASCII 128 and 255 are converted to the appropriate &.....; notation.
