What is CSS Minification?
CSS minification is the process of removing all unnecessary characters from CSS code without changing its functionality. This includes removing whitespace, comments, and newlines. The goal is to reduce the file size of your stylesheets.
Why Minify CSS?
- Faster Website Loading: Smaller file sizes mean faster download times for your users, which directly improves page load speed.
- Improved User Experience: A faster website leads to a better user experience and lower bounce rates.
- Better SEO: Page speed is a known ranking factor for search engines like Google. Faster sites tend to rank better.
- Reduced Bandwidth Consumption: Minifying CSS saves bandwidth for both your server and your users, which can lead to cost savings.
It's a best practice to develop with well-formatted, commented CSS for readability and then use a minifier like this one for the version you deploy to your live website.
