Default O/T htmlshrinker

I asked my brother who is pretty knowledgable on this and seems to agree. He
says that "what this does is shrink the HTML files, which are basically the
words and numbers, probably by removing superfluous spaces. It won't shrink
images, and in my experience these are usually the bulk of the site." As
yours is mostly data it might be worth a try. Obviously you've sorted your
image compression problem - nice pic of Hyde Hall gardens.

Before downloading this I was wondering how it worked. A number of my
Worldwide Report files are quite large and take time to download for

people
of dial-up internet access. I was wondering if anyone else had used this
programme and would it have the desired effect for me?

Thanks

See the FAQ Keith

(http://thepluginsite.com/products/htmlshrinker/faq.htm).
As far as I can tell it parses your files and removes unecessary tags and
other white spaces.

It claims an average saving of 24% for files. Might work for you, although
if your HTML coding is already good then it may not reduce the file size
significantly enough to warrant using it.

I suppose trial and error would show you how good it was.
