CSS Compression

Blog load times and usability play a big factor in attracting and retaining new and returning visitors to your blog. If you’ve already implemented a variety of tactics to speed up your blog loads times, including WP-Cache and optimizing your images, then you might want to try compressing your CSS file.

You can use this CSS Compressor to compress the CSS style sheet to shave some time off your blog loading speed, and save bandwith. You can choose from three levels of compression, depending on how legible you want the compressed CSS to be. The Normal mode should work well in most cases, creating a good balance between the two. It can also strip all of your comments automatically as well.
