- gunnmjk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sorry I don't see the point. Most CSS files are under 5k and after compressed, it's still under 5k.
- mdarby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wasn't this posted last week?
- Percept, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You should be crazy to use such compression on a stylesheet ... it's practically impossible to edit afterwards.
- noahhendrix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't quite understand why you would compress it. I mean if you figured you were never going to use it again.
- Sionide, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0*looks at his style sheet* Yeah, it's tiny. 5k-ish is nothing on modern broadband connections, even on a 56k modem it would take seconds to load it.
- mdarby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It doesn't compress anything. Simply removes whitespace (and all editability!)
- FlyingAvatar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0For small sites, yes, this is not very useful.
However, just to play Devil's Advocate, if you have a big site with a large CSS file, and you save 5-10k on each visitor to your site, you would see a small bandwidth reduction. Also, you might not WANT other people seeing your CSS, in which case obfuscating it would be a good thing. Also, on a 56k connection, 5-10k smaller is at least a a few seconds difference, that doesn't sound like a lot, but try counting to three before a page renders, 3 seconds can be the difference between someone going to or skipping out on your site because it loads too slow. - valan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It would be more useful if you could compress by combining tags using the shorthand formats, and then choose between keeping formatting or not.
