CSS compression

[Join us @ facebook]

Did you know that you can compress css for faster loading?

Just found this tool, that helps you with this process.

I will later try to find some reference for this technique, and see what browsers support it.

I think its better to split your css files and use css shortcuts like:

Code:

border:1px solid #ccc;
or
padding:10px 20px;

thats what this compressor does right? Plus removing extra line breaks and comments. My CSS file got 290 bytes smaller, does this really change loadtimes? I don't think you will even notice the difference in loadtime if you are on dialup. Maybe if you have some massive CSS. Whats your biggest CSS file and how much space did this tool compress out of it?

there are really big css files (check css zen garden) but these are also big because of comments etc.
I think the bigger problem is often a big javascript files (ajax)
