   @kasparsd It seems like it does? For the same HTML page on my deploy preview vs. prod, I was seeing:

   No minification:
   31.6kb in size, 8.7 over network

   Minification:
   19.5kb in size, 6.1kb over network

     📝 I got HTML minification setup (yet again) and finally made a note to self on how to do it the inevitable next time.

     @jimniels Most web servers compress the content for transport. I wonder if minifying the source has any impact on that compresses size, do you know?

     @manualdousuario @kasparsd idk if I'm convinced that serving human-readable HTML over the wire is helpful…I know it helped me back in the day, but now-a-days we have DevTools and a DOM representation of the HTML which are much more helpful than plain-text.

     That said, i used to have a comment in my HTML that pointed to the source code that generated the HTML but that’s been stripped out. i need to add it back…It at least gave folks the ability to see the source code behind the source code.
