Just take a look at Ask.com homepage source. It's one long line.

How to remove line-breaks and other unnecessary codes from final html output? (Views content)

forexample:

<div id="test">
    <span>Hello World!</span>
</div>

to:

<div id="test"><span>Hello World!</span></div>

Can GZip do it?

no, I ask for CakePHP, not for normal PHP. I want to know where can I put my minification function to minify whole output. — mrdaliri, Aug 08 '12 at 18:17
Unless you're Google and have millions of hits every day I don't know why you would want to do this. We're talking a few bytes saved AFTER gzipping the stream. — Razor, Aug 09 '12 at 11:44

I haven't had time to implement this myself yet however this helper looks good.

You can also use the following to minify the rest of your assets

To get it all on one line, you may replace

return $output;

with

return preg_replace('/\r?\n/m', '', $output);
