bardiir/web-optim repository overview

⁠** Work in Progress - This currently is neither complete nor functional - Do not use (yet)! **

⁠web-optim

Fully featured web optimizer for (mostly) static pages

⁠Usage

docker pull bardiir/web-optim
docker run -v /path/to/your/web/folder:/in -v /path/to/the/optimized/output:/out [-v /tmp/cache:/cache] bardiir/web-optim [options]

-v /path/to/your/web/folder:/in - This is the data folder you want to optimize, replace /path/to/your/web/folder with the real source
-v /path/to/the/optimized/output:/out - This is where the optimized data is saved to, replace /path/to/the/optimized/output with the real target
-v /tmp/cache:/cache (optional) - Save cache data to this directory, this speeds up subsequent runs a lot if the output folder gets cleared in between, replace /tmp/cache with the caching location

⁠WIP

This is a Work-in-progress but based on the learnings from the auto-caesium, auto-dash-hls etc projects done by @majamee⁠ and me over the last weeks the following features/optimizations are planned:

Milestone 1:

• Optimize JPG Images to a Quality of 80 and strip unnecessary data (like bardiir/auto-caesium⁠ does)
• Optimize PNG Images (like bardiir/auto-caesium⁠ does)
• Optimize Hero Video Files (hero_*) into Audio-Free Video Files (like majamee/hero-videoptim⁠ does)

Milestone 2:

• Add caching and locking to prevent multiple runs of optimization if not necessary
• Save optimized files to cache for faster lookup if out is cleared (for example in build pipelines)

Milestone 3:

• Convert CMYK JPEG Files to sRGB automatically - CMYK is bad on the web...
• Optimize Video Files into Multi-Bitrate Videofiles using HLS and DASH (like majamee/auto-dash-hls⁠ does)

Milestone 4:

• Introduce options/parameters to disable every optimization if not needed/useful
• Crush JS & CSS Files
• Compress static files (js, css, fonts,...) into .gz files alongside their uncompressed counterparts & create documentation to leverage this on a webserver level to lower overall performance usage by not compressing statics inline

Milestone 5:

• Optimize GIF Images
• Optimize/Crush SVG Images
• Optimize Fonts (remove symbols not used in the html codebase ideally)
• Garbage collection in cache directory

Milestone 6:

• Automatically replace video files referenced in html files with the multi bitrate ones using PLYR
