What is EHO?
EHO is more of an attitude than a specific technique. Every byte counts. The idea is to use the minimum amount of markup to render a page that still works (and validates if desired). HTML optimization is the process of minimizing HTML file size to maximize page display speed. Typical Web pages have extra characters (comments, spaces, returns and redundant attributes) that can safely be removed with no change in appearance. EHO takes this process to its logical extreme within an anything goes approach, where no HTML is safe. EHO is not for everyone. Some of the techniques shown here violate HTML 4, and some don’t. It’s up to you which ones you use.
