    I've always just made sure gzip was enabled on the server.

      gzip compresses the files themselves and typically saves 50 to 70 percent in HTML and CSS file size. You can use site performance tools like yslow to tell you if it is enabled.

          I don't think MinifyX affects the HTML Output itself other than combining and minifying CSS and JS assets.

            Ah sorry, thought you only wanted to compress your CSS/JS.

              Don't know for Revo, but for Evolution there is a small plugin by Agel Nash: HtmlInLine
              I use it often and it works very well

                I was thinking (this is kinda janky) you could move all your template code to chunks, and then each template would just invoke one chunk and use a output modifier that minifies the output...

                Maybe there is a better way to do it by tapping into plugin events somehow.

                  I use Jade to prepare my MODX template - its output is totally minified.

                  Then [[*content:strip]] and then I bag all other outputs into a snippet/chunk - and strp that too.
                  Final view source on browser is in on one line.

                    Any tips on resources on how to use Jade to prepare MODX templates? I'm so close to 100/100 speed score!

                      I reckoned it would be a one time thing - so I invested some time in the Jade logic to mimic my MODX ifs and thens.
                      I used blocks so that I could get a fairly working preview offline

                              if slider == "yes"
          [[+slider:is=`yes`:then=`
          .bigTitleBG.shiftMe
            .container 
               block sliderM
          `]]
        if h2Content == "yes"
          [[+slider:is=`pagetitle`:then=`
          .bigTitleBG
            .intros
              [[+neighbourNav]]


                      And since, as you know, in Jade, you don't need to close HTML tags, high speeds can be reached.
                      It was fun. And connected to SublimeText, it was cool.
