Why don’t we talk about minifying CSS anymore?
There are a number of tools available to minify CSS in development or as part of your build pipeline including, but not limited to, cssnano and Vite. If you’re using sass, it’s as straightforward as adding --style=compressed to your sass command. The results you achieve may vary depending on the complexity of your CSS, but you may see numbers similar to this (processed with sass):

Classic Themes with Block Patterns in WordPress
For the sake of simplicity, my example setup uses a single-file plugin and puts all styles directly into a single style.css file without using further theme.css or theme.json files, which we might want to use depending on the requirements for customizability. Likewise, SASS / SCSS support can be added if it makes life easier for the developer(s) involved. But as we already use PostCSS to control autoprefixing and cssnano minification, we can also use it to support the latest and even upcoming CSS sytax like native CSS nesting.

How I use Devbox in my Elm projects
This project uses HTMLMinifier, optipng, and zopfli to create a custom production Elm build pipeline. You can see how I make use of these tools in this build script. Here are the results in case you're interested. I used the same ideas from this project to build and deploy dwayne/elm-conduit, which you can learn more about in my article Yet Another Tour of an Open-Source Elm SPA.

How to improve page load speed and response times: A comprehensive guide
Minification involves removing unnecessary characters, whitespace, and comments from code files. It helps reduce HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc., file sizes without compromising functionality. Removing redundant elements makes these HTML, JavaScript, and CSS files smaller. Since smaller code files need less internet traffic to transfer, they load faster. Utilizing tools like UglifyJS, Clean-CSS, and HTMLMinifier enhances this process of code reduction. They analyze the code, remove redundant code, and generate optimized files for deployment.
