Building an optimized site

DocsForge includes the minify plugin by default. It compresses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript at build time.

What's optimized automatically

The minify plugin strips:
- Whitespace and newlines from HTML
- HTML comments
- Optional attribute quotes
- CSS and JavaScript whitespace

This runs on every build with no configuration needed.

Image optimization

For best results, optimize images before adding them to your docs:

# Using pngquant for PNGs
pngquant --quality=70-90 docs/assets/images/*.png

# Using cwebp for WebP conversion
cwebp -q 80 image.png -o image.webp

Privacy plugin (external assets)

The privacy plugin downloads and caches external assets (like Google Fonts) during the build. This means:
- No CDN calls at runtime
- Faster page loads
- Works offline
- Better privacy for your users

Runs automatically on every build.
