This project uses HTMLMinifier, optipng, and zopfli to create a custom production Elm build pipeline. You can see how I make use of these tools in this build script. Here are the results in case you're interested. I used the same ideas from this project to build and deploy dwayne/elm-conduit, which you can learn more about in my article Yet Another Tour of an Open-Source Elm SPA.

Minification involves removing unnecessary characters, whitespace, and comments from code files. It helps reduce HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc., file sizes without compromising functionality. Removing redundant elements makes these HTML, JavaScript, and CSS files smaller. Since smaller code files need less internet traffic to transfer, they load faster. Utilizing tools like UglifyJS, Clean-CSS, and HTMLMinifier enhances this process of code reduction. They analyze the code, remove redundant code, and generate optimized files for deployment.

html-minifier works since it has a cli and I can do something like the authors states in the documentation html-minifier --collapse-whitespace inside package.json "scripts": { }, thus I can run the task through the VSCode interface

HTMLMinifier

I found this one https://github.com/kangax/html-minifier which seems to be browser compatible, but impossible to get it to build with my setup (Next.js + typescript).

That's Minifcation and you'd normally thigs like https://github.com/kangax/html-minifier

I am not sure what you'd use this tool for possibly for scraping work but beautiful soup is probably better for that
