Free online CSS Minifier
Minification (also minimisation or minimization) is the process of removing all unnecessary characters from the source codes of interpreted programming languages or markup languages without changing their functionality. These unnecessary characters usually include white space characters, new line characters, comments, and sometimes block delimiters, which are used to add readability to the code but are not required for it to execute. Minification reduces the size of the source code, making its transmission over a network (e.g. the Internet) more efficient. In programmer culture, aiming at extremely minified source code is the purpose of recreational code golf competitions.
Minification must not be confused with obfuscation; the former can be readily reversed using a pretty-printer. Minification can be distinguished from the more general concept of data compression in that the minified source can be interpreted immediately without the need for an uncompression step: the same interpreter can work with both the original as well as with the minified source.
Components and libraries for Web applications and websites have been developed to optimize file requests and reduce page load times by shrinking the size of various files.
JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) resources may be minified, preserving their behavior while considerably reducing their file size. Libraries available online are capable of minification and optimization to varying degrees. Some libraries also merge multiple script files into a single file for client download. JavaScript source maps can make code readable and debuggable even after it has been combined and minified.
