hexo-lightning-minify

Introduction

This plugin is a minifier module split from hexo-renderer-multi-next-markdown-it. Based on more modern minifiers (such as lightningcss and minify-html), it significantly improves speed compared to the older version.

If you need more comprehensive optimization, you can try hexo-optimize. This project is more inclined to exist as a supporting package for ShokaX, thus it only provides basic minification and optimization functions.

Installation

pnpm add hexo-lightning-minify # Recommended to use pnpm
npm install hexo-lightning-minify

Configuration

minify:
  js:
    enable: true # ShokaX comes with esbuild optimization, not recommended to enable. Recommended for other themes.
    exclude: # Exclude files, accept string[], must match micromatch format
  css:
    enable: true # Enable CSS optimization
    options:
      targets: ">= 0.5%" # browserslist format target
    exclude: # Exclude files, accept string[], must match micromatch format
  html:
    minifier: html-minifier # minify-html(faster) or html-minifier(more stable)
    enable: true # Enable HTML optimization
    options:
      comments: false # Whether to preserve comment content
    exclude: # Exclude files, accept string[], must match micromatch format
  image:

    options:
      avif: false
      webp: true # Reserved configuration item, no effect in the current version
      quality: 80 # Quality, supports integers from 1-100, lossless, or nearLossless
      effort: 2 # CPU effort, an integer between 0 and 6 (lower for faster)
      replaceSrc: true # Automatically replace local image links in generated HTML with WebP links
      # We recommend using a Service Worker to implement the replaceSrc functionality on the user side, which will enable link replacement in a less intrusive manner.
    exclude:
