: Does minifying HTML have an impact on SEO? What happens when I minify my HTML in SEO terms? I mean, I minified my HTML which means that every <meta... /> tag is being placed on one

In addition,

Minifying a resource, be it a CSS, JavaScript, or HTML file—is simply the process of removing spaces, comments, tabs, and other unnecessary code in the file.

There are many tools available for minification.


Use Google’s Closure Compiler for JavaScript, YUI Compressor for CSS,
and an HTML minifier for HTML. Again, it’s easiest to simply download
the minified versions of the files PageSpeed Insights provides.
If you’re running any CMS, you can take advantage of the
minification by many plugins.


Google watches code. Not spaces between it.

Only in the sense that your page will download faster and Google gives you points for that because a faster page load is a better user experience. Otherwise, minimizing your page has no other impact.
