CSS Minifier - Compress CSS Files for Faster Page Loads
Minifying CSS is a standard optimization step for production websites. It removes comments, whitespace, and unnecessary characters without changing any styling behavior - making files smaller and faster to download.
What Gets Removed
- All comments (
/* ... */) - Unnecessary whitespace and line breaks
- Redundant semicolons
- Leading zeros in decimal numbers (
0.5pxbecomes.5px) - Units on zero values (
0pxbecomes0)
How Much Does It Save?
Typical CSS minification reduces file size by 30-60%. A 100 KB unminified stylesheet often becomes 40-50 KB after minification. Combined with Gzip or Brotli compression, savings can exceed 80%.
Minify vs Compress
Minification is a preprocessing step (remove unnecessary characters). Compression (Gzip/Brotli) is applied by the web server at runtime. You should do both: minify your CSS, then let your server compress it.
