About CSS minification

CSS minification reduces file size by stripping comments, collapsing whitespace, shortening color values (e.g., #ffffff#fff), and removing unnecessary semicolons and units. The minified output is functionally identical to the original.

CSS files are render-blocking resources — the browser cannot display the page until all CSS is downloaded and parsed. Smaller CSS files directly improve First Contentful Paint and Largest Contentful Paint metrics, which are Core Web Vitals used by Google for ranking.
