Supressing White space in Cold Fusion Source Code

One of the annoying things about ColdFusion is when the code has been executed the source code is full of white-space where ColdFusion has been removed. In the most extreme circumstances, this can lead to a much longer source code, which from an SEO point of view is to be avoided. In the settings of the ColdFusion administrator panel. Click enable white space suppression.

It is not going to have a massive effect on your SEO but at least it means that you don’t have to scroll as far, makes the code more readable and it could save you some small bandwidth.

The trade-off is that there is a small performance hit as there is slightly more for the server to do but this is probably something which is worthwhile as long your site is not extremely busy.
