look at the title, that is not good. Tho the mod itself is really good, speeds up the site alot..

Can you please post what the title looked like before running the module and what it looks like after running it?

Also, please explain why extra spaces in the page title would work towards search engine optimization?

I am still working on the 2nd release of this module (which will pack about 100 times as many features and usefulness) and want to account for as much as possible.

Well, if you get keywords in the title that is "melted" together, the SE cant separate the words and will ignore them...

after the space remover:

That is very odd. I have never seen that behavior before. Basically the script changes all consecutive whitespace to a single space character. It won't eliminate them. It does remove unnecessary spaces between certain HTML tags. Are each and every one of the words in your title wrapped in some formatting tag? That might cause the problem.

Does this mod work for 4.0.14?
Thanks

I have 4.0.13 - the script runs for 5 minutes and stalls. I've been using it for the last 4 versions of my cart. I think the script is awesome.

Any ideas why the script stalls NuAlpha? Might have something to do with my new host's server.

I am not sure, however, you may wish to just let it keep running and watch for changes in the files. If the size of the files keeps changing then the script is still running.

I have seen cases where servers will run a script all the way through but not show all the progress. Something happens with the flushing of the output buffer somewhere along the way.

I'm getting "done" in the bottom of the browser and the script terminates. I'll check it again.

That basically means there are no recognizable HTML files in the directory you entered. Only files with ".htm" or ".html" will be recognized and stripped of white spaces.
