OptimaHTML is a professional tool for reducing the size of your web pages and optimizing HTML code to make pages load faster in web browsers. OptimaHTML has several features which you wonΓÇÖt find anywhere else. It removes unneeded tags, spaces and carriage returns from the HTML code, without making any changes to HTML documentsΓÇÖ layouts. If you want, you can also remove style-affecting tags (Bold, Italic, Underline, TeleText and so on). You can also add your own tags and meta tags with specific attributes and their values to be removed. You have full control over everything OptimaHTML does! OptimaHTML can now also handle files that contain JavaScript and SSI tags.
Even though the application name suggests otherwise, also files other than HTML documents can be optimized and compacted - namely images. Image files are the thing that take up most of the space on your web server - unless, of course, you distribute even heavier media, for example movies or downloadables (such as StuffIt archives). OptimaHTML lets you remove the resource fork of an image file, so that all that remains is the actual image. The data that gets removed is only used by the Mac OS system software - web browsers don't use resource forks at all. After removing the resource fork from images, your image files could be more than 50% smaller than they originally were. With no quality loss whatsoever.
OptimaHTML is extremely easy to use. If you run into problems, you can access this User's Manual right from the application itself, and from this manual you can find descriptions of all tags which OptimaHTML suggests to be removed, so knowledge of HTML isn't required. Selecting files and folders is easy - just drop 'em into OptimaHTML's window and click "Optimize" button!
OptimaHTML lets you view pages after you've opened them, saving your time in the process of finding the right HTML file. You can also preview an optimized file, even before saving the file. You can have both files, the original and the optimized copy open in a browser and see what was changed - if anything at all was (this feature requires Internet Config or the Mac OS 8.5 built-in Internet control panel).
You don't need to worry about losing the original file, since you can save compacted and optimized files under new names, and until you've saved the file, OptimaHTML stores the optimized file in a temporary file and the original data will not be overwritten unless you choose to overwrite it.
