Inaccurate comparison with HTML Minifier #265
Description
There are two problems with the comparison to HTML Minifier:
-
It hasn’t been maintained in years. HTML Minifier Terser was for some time and may be again, but the most up-to-date edition and successor to HTML Minifier is HTML Minifier Next (HMN).
-
The settings aren’t complete and therefore unlikely comparable, either. For comparison, these are the settings HMN uses for its own benchmarks.
In consequence, though likely also related to the samples tested, there’s a large discrepancy between the benchmarks minify-html provides and those reported with HMN. (This looks similar for minimize, which I cannot reproduce to be anywhere as fast as your benchmarks suggest.)
Would you mind updating the benchmarks with the latest versions of HTML Minifier Next and minimize, and settings comparable to minify-html?
I’ve just recently reworked the benchmarks provided with HMN—please let me know, too, if and how anything would not be up-to-date and fair there, especially as it relates to minify-html!
