Has anyone used a white space remover?

    I found this little page that removes white spaces: http://design215.com/toolbox/whitespace.php

    I removed the white spaces in one of my .css files and some other large files in the same directory. Maybe I am imagining this, but it seems like the page load time is somewhat faster now (we're talking about a second or two faster).

    Am I imagining this or does removing white spaces really make pages load up faster?

    "minify" seems to be quite popular but given that these files are cached there shouldn't be much impact.

    Back in the days of dialup it was a big deal and now with mobile I guess it's relevant again. Of greater value, I'd have thought, would be ensuring that there were no unused classes, and unnecessary javascript.

    Interesting. Why do you think it's may be becoming relevant with mobile again?

    because they're not downloading at adsl speeds. Between the throttled download time, the small processor and limited memory phones will perform better with lighter sites. That will change over time, my phone surpasses the laptop my husband started his business with 20 years ago but still...

    Ha! I have a laptop like this. My wife used to have a laptop (nobody is using it anymore, I think it's about 12 years old). It's by Dell. I only use it to check my sites with the really, really old IE browser it has. Other than that it's such a piece of you know what.
