An HTML minification plugin for Pelican, the static site generator.
This one works with Python3 and the latest Pelican version (4.1.2, as of writing this).
Clone this repo into a plugin folder (other-plugins folder, in this case):
cd folder-that-pelicanconf.py-is-in
mkdir -p other-plugins
cd other-plugins
git clone https://github.com/PhasecoreX/pelican-minify.gitThen point your pelicanconf.py at that folder :
# pelicanconf.py
# ...
PLUGIN_PATHS = [
# ...
"other-plugins"
# ...
]
# ...To use pelican-minify, add it to your PLUGINS global near or at the end of the list.
If you are using gzip_cache, make sure that is after pelican-minify:
# pelicanconf.py
# ...
PLUGINS = [
# ...
'pelican-minify',
'gzip_cache'
]
# ...The next time you build your Pelican site, pelican-minify will automatically
minify your Pelican pages after they've been generated.
pelican-minify can also be configured by setting MINIFY to a hash containing
parameters to htmlmin, eg:
# pelicanconf.py
# ...
MINIFY = {
"remove_comments": True,
"reduce_boolean_attributes": True
}
# ...This reduces file size and obscures the public source code, but keep in mind--minifying your static site will increase your Pelican build times, as it adds extra file processing for each page generated.
NOTE: You should probably include the minify plugin at the very end of
your PLUGINS array, but still in front of gzip_cache if you are using it.
This will ensure it is the last thing to run, just before the results are gzipped.
