README

Minifies HTML and XML output for Kirby projects.

General

The plugin extends Kirby’s core template component and directly applies post-processing to template-based HTML and XML output. It removes comments and trims trailing whitespace from text nodes, using PHP’s native DOM parsers.

Setup

The plugin works out-of-the-box, no further configuration required.

FAQ

Why extend the template component instead of using hooks?

Pages somehow always require a default HTML template and are therefore not well suited for other content types, such as XML sitemaps or other XML-only responses. Thus, the pages.render:after hook can’t be used to apply minification in such cases where you want to simply render a template directly instead.

The route:after hook, on the other hand, doesn’t always pass information about the content type of the rendered response, so it’s also not a good fit here.
