Fastatic

Speed up your static site with one command: fastatic

Static site generators are the next big thing. Fastatic takes the ouput of any static site generator (Jekyll, Hugo and many others) and optimises it. The result: faster static sites.

Fastatic minifies your HTML, CSS, JS, JSON, XML and images. See issues for more planned improvements.

Example: React

Running Fastatic on the React's static site files results in a faster site:
