New in Version 2.50

Version 2.50 of HTML Shrinker Pro provides a new and exciting Rules feature for defining own shrinking rules easily and thereby enabling users to extend the capabilities of HTML Shrinker themselves. Several useful rules are already included with HTML Shrinker Pro, e.g. for removing links, forms, asp code, meta tags and many other HTML expressions. Furthermore HTML Shrinker's shrinking gain and speed was remarkably improved by adding new shrinking options and by optimizing the shrinking algorithm. Especially html files that are produced with MS Office can now be shrunken dramatically. In addition to these main enhancements a lot of smaller improvements and fixes were conducted.

Shrinks Various Web, Wap and Script Files

HTML Shrinker is capable of reducing the size of various file types e.g. HTML, WML, WMLS, SHTML, JHTML, XML, CFML, JS, CSS, ASP, PL, PHP and TCL. It shrinks plain html, wml and xml code, but also Javascript, Php, Perl, Tcl, WMLscript as well as VBscript code. Comments from different html editors e.g. Frontpage, Dreamweaver, Pagemil, SourceSafe are supported and SSI commands are left untouched if needed. HTML Shrinker achieves an up to 50% reduction in file size by removing superfluous elements which are not necessary for the files to display or function correctly. Shrunken files can be restored to their original state at any time.

Different Shrinking and Backup Possibilities

HTML Shrinker allows to select single files for shrinking or to shrink a whole web site with only one mouse click. You can decide whether you like to replace the original files with the shrunken ones while automatically making backups or, if you like to shrink to a destination folder and keep the original files untouched. Additionally you can shrink files or whole folder trees directly from the Windows Explorer by using the context menu or by drag and drop, but you can also shrink files by using a script that controls HTML Shrinker from the command line box. Other useful functions are the shrinking of code on the clipboard, analyzing what elements will be removed from files and the ability to simulate the shrinking of files.

Other Useful Features

HTML Shrinker even contains a wide range of other significant features. For example, it allows you to clean up your html documents by removing e.g. images, scripts, styles, NB spaces or font tags to make them slim. The Sites menu offers quick access to the root folders of different web sites on your hard drive, there are commands for displaying the source code of the files or for displaying the files in your browser and the Options dialog provides the opportunity to influence the shrinking process.

HTML Shrinker is available for Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000 and XP. The commercial license of HTML Shrinker Pro sells at $49.95 and the personal license (for use on only non-profit web sites) costs $29.95. Both can be purchased from http://htmlshrinker.com/.
