Not WordPress friendly ??

    I have used this plugin before and found that it introduces many hidden bugs in the code. It often breaks CSS styles, but you only see these problems when comparing staging and production sites.

    Other users have the same problems, and it’s hard to spot the little styling errors it creates.

    If you’re using modern WordPress (Gutenberg), it’s better to find another minification plugin. I think it works fine for old-school non-Gutenberg sites.

    It’s not a bug and it doesn’t “break” CSS style. What it does is uncover assumptions made in style that rely on white space, which could be considered template debugging. From the plugin documentation FAQs:

    Normally, you won’t notice any changes to the way the site looks in the browser. However, if you rely on white space between HTML tags (which you shouldn’t be doing) you may notice very isolated elements with reduced horizontal spacing. This is because inline objects will add a few pixels of spacing if there’s whitespace between the objects. I consider Minify HTML a good way of finding these style ‘errors’ and correcting them with proper padding or margin style.

    So what you consider a bug, I consider a feature to expose style bugs.
