I used it on myEuropean file for 31st May 2004, it shrunk it down by
9%. You can see what it's removed as far as HTML is concerned by
comparing the two files here...by viewing the source file

Shrunk. Removed tabs and spaces.

and

I will try this in the near future and the reason is that because my
HTML files are copy/pasted from my excel spreadsheets, there are
litrally hundreds of tabs and spaces embedded in them. I'm sure
someone with some good computer programming experience could make a
better job, but it's the way I have produced the data to date. I
remember a colleague commenting on this 'superfluous' information
embedded into the HTML before, so when I run one through the process
I'll let you know what (if any) the difference in size is, it's worth
a go.

Incidentally, I wasn't thinking of reducing 'images' with this
programme, I will use the Microsoft Powertool 'image resizer', which
seems to be idiot proof :-)

Again many thanks for all the advice, promps and links.

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.
