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):

Beyond the Basics: Exploring TailwindCSS and Linaria in Next.js - From Installation to Performance Optimization
Since Tailwind is a PostCSS plugin, we can also add cssnano plugin to compress the bundle.

Maximize Web Performance with CSS Optimization Techniques
Minifying your CSS involves removing unnecessary whitespace, comments, and reducing property names. This results in smaller file sizes and faster downloads. Use tools like UglifyCSS and CSSNano for this purpose.

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.

Why it is Important to Update Linters and How to Do it Right
Another common way to extend configs in linters is using the extends key in the configuration file. Let's take StyleLint as an example:

How to Improve Development Experience of your React Project
Stylelint is similar to ESLint, but its focus is on styling rather than JavaScript. It helps you find errors in style files, such as old syntax or empty classes. We will also incorporate stylelint-config-clean-order to sort your style rules and group them consistently across the entire codebase.

Speeding up the JavaScript ecosystem – The barrel file debacle
The “cost of loading modules” diagram shows non-linear behaviour (though you should largely ignore the curve visible in the diagram because the x axis is way off linear):
• 0.15s ÷ 500 = 0.3ms
• 0.31s ÷ 1000 = 0.31ms
• 3.12s ÷ 10000 = 0.312ms
• 16.81s ÷ 25000 = 0.6724ms
• 48.44s ÷ 50000 = 0.9688ms
My own observation on a Surface Book six years ago was that in Node.js under Windows, each module had about 1ms of overhead when there was warm file system cache—that is, simply bundling with Rollup saved 1ms per file. If this sort of thing interests you, quite a lot of useful stuff came out of https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/issues/2454 which I filed because I was unhappy with stylelint taking over a second to import. And that must have been only in the order of one or two thousand modules, when the behaviour is still close enough to linear.

Don't sound like a robot: use CSS to Control Text-to-Speech
As the property is still experimental, stylelint does not recognize it yet at the time of writing this, so let's explicitly disable the property-no-unknown rule only where we use it by adding a stylelint-disable comment and re-enable it afterwards.

How can I have CSS automatically formatted so that all of the properties are in order by length, as I type?
I use StyleLint (https://stylelint.io/) to lint my css/scss. I don't think that's a rule, but writing a custom rule isn't too tough. And you can use the vscode extension - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=stylelint.vscode-stylelint

Deno Fresh PostCSS: Future CSS with Deno
The complete code for this project is in the Rodney Lab GitHub repo. I do hope the post has either helped you with an existing project or provided some inspiration for a new one. As an extension, you can add all your favourite future CSS rules to the PostCSS config. Beyond PostCSS for linting your input CSS, consider trying stylelint.
