Comments on: Whitespace Suppression https://www.barneyb.com/barneyblog/2005/01/12/whitespace-suppression/ Thoughts, rants, and even some code from the mind of Barney Boisvert.

Personnally i don't give it to much thought as i use CFSILENT in a lot of places to put in runs of CFML logic. But that aside, the best way to reduce your pages without any hassle from a CFML point of view, is to enable mod_gzip and you can see real leaps in page size reduction. You'll save a huge amount in bandwidth and the browser will render your page faster as it has all the information quicker than waiting for it to stream in from the server. GZIP can make a huge difference to XML output where lots of repeated tags are present; for example your RSS feeds will get a major boost. Removing whitespace from pages is one way to go.
