CSS Optimizer Tool
Every once in a while, we at Andy's peer outside the industry and share a glimpse of things we find interesting. That's what you'll find below! The below information was sourced from cssoptimiser.com
Online CSS Optimizer/Optimiser is a web tool for reducing the file size of cascading style sheets. In order to save more space optimized files would be messy even so you may output it as a file. Non-valid or hacked (for certain browsers) CSS files may result in error.
Online CSS Optimizer v0.3 for Cascading Style Sheets
Why Optimize?
First of all, the optimizer is not just removing white spaces, comments etc. Not only shorthand properties but also grouping are used for optimizing. Just like this:
Yes the output files will be messy in order to save more space. You should send your CSS through a build process that doesn't replace the source, but creates a seperate ready-to-upload compressed version. Then, when you need to revise your CSS you don't edit the compressed version that's out there, you edit the source and then rebuild it before uploading.
What about server-side compressing?
Gzip does what it does, not grouping nor using shorthands.
An optimized file would be compressed more and save more space.

body { font-size:14px; font-family:Arial; } h1 { font-size:14px; font-family:Arial; }optimized as:
body,h1{font:14px arial}Output will not be readable!
