Interesting to see most CS pages have 30% + unneccesary white-space!

Thats a pretty cool tool Ben. In my experience thee are three things that cause CS page bloat on a default installation:

1) Those _ctl0____ctl0____ctl0__ctl0_bcr__ctl0_ ... id tags that ASP.NET 1.1 generates.

2) The table based layout. Simply eliminating tables where they are not needed and using web standards based layouts would cut down on a lot of unnecessary code. A lot of controls also have nested divs that could be rendered in the same way but with much less code

3) CSS bloat. The common.css file has a lot of classes that are duplicated and that handle the same thing. I know that CSS files are only loaded once, but these files are huge.

By the way, your site deserves its own favicon :)

Great tool. It would be useful if it could highlight areas of white space, tags, etc. for quick targeting of affected areas.

Best,
