Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I minify my CSS?
Minified CSS files are smaller and load faster, improving your website's performance. Smaller files mean less bandwidth usage for both you and your users, and faster page rendering in browsers.
Is my CSS code kept private?
Yes, completely. All minification happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. No CSS code is ever transmitted to any server or stored anywhere.
Will minification break my CSS?
No, proper minification only removes unnecessary characters without changing the functionality. However, we recommend testing your minified CSS on a staging environment before deploying to production.
How much size reduction can I expect?
Size reduction varies depending on your CSS. Typically, you can expect 10-30% reduction for well-formatted CSS with comments, and up to 50% or more for CSS with extensive comments and whitespace.
Should I keep the original CSS file?
Yes, always keep your original, unminified CSS file for development and debugging. Use the minified version only for production deployment. Consider using a build process that generates minified files automatically.
