HTML 4

HTML (non-XHTML), MIME type is text/html, allowing some tags to be omitted. With HTML 4 DTD, you can omit the following tags (those so-called avoidable elements are marked with strikethroughs)

 </area>
 </base>
 <body>
 </body>
 </br>
 </col>
 </colgroup>
 </dd>
 </dt>
 <head>
 </head>
 </hr>
 <html>
 </html>
 </img>
 </input>
 </li>
 </link>
 </meta>
 </option>
 </p>
 </param>
 <tbody>
 </tbody>
 </td>
 </tfoot>
 </th>
 </thead>
 </tr>

For example, your code is

 <li>List item</li>

Can be written as

 <li>List item

For example, the paragraph should

 </p>

At the end, you can just write

 <p>My paragraph

You can even remove html, head, body (make sure this will make you comfortable before taking this as your coding specification).

HTML is still valid after omitting tags, while reducing file size. For general pages, you can save 5-20%.

HTML 5

The developing HTML 5 provides some ways to reduce file size.

For example, page document type declaration

 <!DOCTYPE html>

contrast

 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//ENhttp://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd>

Obviously HTML 5 has a shorter DTD.

HTML 5 is easy to use and shorter when specifying encoding for a page:

 <meta charset=utf-8>

replace

 <meta http-equiv=content-type content=text/html; charset=utf-8>

Normally, the browser handles HTML correctly.

In addition, in today's HTML 5, you can remove the type attribute that declares MIME type, such as

 type=text/css
or
 type=text/javascript

You can use

 <script>
Alternative
 <script type=text/javascript>
use
 <style>
Alternative
 <style type=text/css>

In all types of pages (even XHTHML) you can omit

 type=text/css

HTML 5 makes this all easier.

Using all the above methods simultaneously will save 10%-20% (or even more) of the file, depending on your encoding style and the amount of text content in the page. The code will be cleaner and visitors will get website content faster. We use a lot of this technology in the Privacy Center project, saving 20% ​​of the original file size.
