 * Hi Ante,
 * When WP Performance is enabled, it is minifying the HTML output. In this process
   it is removing spaces from inside otherwise empty spans; eg. <span> </span>. 
   This is removing spaces that should exist in our content. I believe an empty 
   span is valid HTML so I don’t think the minification process should remove these
   spaces, would it be possible to fix this, or have some kind of setting that allows
   us to turn the HTML minification off?
 * Thank you again for your time.
