Reduce HTML token usage before AI processing

HTML is designed for browsers, not prompt budgets. Every repeated menu, hidden widget and script-adjacent fragment inflates costs without improving model performance.

Primary use
Shrink token spend by converting bloated HTML into compact Markdown before chunking, prompting or embedding.
Recommended flow
Fetch, clean, measure tokens, then hand consistent Markdown to agents or retrieval systems.
Next step
Use the Playground to compare raw HTML against optimized output before integrating the API.

Where token waste comes from

The biggest cost drivers are usually repeated layout shells, deeply nested wrappers and duplicated CTA blocks. These structures can dominate token counts on modern documentation and marketing pages.

  • Global navigation rendered on every page.
  • Recommendation modules unrelated to the requested topic.
  • Inline styling, ARIA wrappers and tracking-heavy markup.

How to measure savings

Use the same tokenizer before and after conversion. AIngestor uses deterministic token metrics so savings are comparable across repeated crawls and API requests.
