    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.

    Depending on whether set to true or false (or not included as the default value is false), the last two options, --minify-js and --minify-css will minify the corresponding source of their type, only if included as inline style or script tags in the html being minified. It may also be good to know that the html-minifier options information states that clean-css and uglify-js are used for the minification when these options are included.
