Have you ever thought that the generated HTML from a .cshtml file is not optimized?
Take a look at the below code which is the content of a simple _Layout.cshtml file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>@ViewData["Title"] - WebApplication6</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
@RenderBody()
<footer>MyWebApplication</footer>
</div>
@RenderSection("Scripts", required: false)
</body>
</html>
And the below code is the content of a simple Index.cshtml file:
@{
ViewData["Title"] = "Home Page";
}
<div class="row">
<h1>This the Index page</h1>
</div>
When you visit the page through the browser, the generated HTML is:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>Home Page - WebApplication6</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<div class="row">
<h1>This the Index page</h1>
</div>
<footer>MyWebApplication</footer>
</div>
</body>
</html>
How many spaces and empty new lines!
The response size is 650B. This is not a problem if the page is small, but think about bigger pages.
Using RCompressor, you can strip out the code from spaces, empty lines, and comments.
Processing the previous .cshtml files with RCompressor the response size becomes 604B, which is ~8% smaller. You can save a lot of bytes in bigger files.
- Download the latest version of RCompressor and launch it (no installation required);
- paste the directory/file path in the first field;
- check the Scan subfolders option if required;
- press the Compress button.
You can use RCompressor using the command line by passing the paths as parameters.
Add the -subfolders option to scan subfolders.
Usage example:
> RCompressor.exe -subfolders "C:\MyDir" "C:\MyFile.cshtml"
RCompressor will compress all .cshtml files inside C:\MyDir and subfolders. It will also compress the C:\MyFile.cshtml file.
