Normalize Whitespace Before Publishing
Whitespace errors are easy to ignore in editors and very visible after publish. Extra spaces, hidden tabs, or repeated line breaks can create awkward blocks that reduce readability. On mobile screens, these defects become even more obvious because there is less horizontal space.
A reliable pre-publish routine includes trimming line edges, removing duplicate spaces, and collapsing excessive blank lines. If you are preparing metadata fields, convert multi-line text into a single clean line so snippets render properly in search previews and social cards.
Whitespace cleanup is also helpful when multiple contributors edit the same document. Every tool handles spacing a little differently, so normalized output gives your final copy one consistent structure regardless of where it was drafted.
This check takes under a minute but prevents repeated revisions. Cleaner formatting helps users scan content faster, improves perceived quality, and supports long-term editorial standards for any growing website.
