Why Would You Ever Want to Make Your Code an Unreadable Mess?
Why Would You Ever Want to Make Your Code an Unreadable Mess?
As developers, we are taught from day one to write clean, organized, and well-commented code. We use indentation and spacing to make our stylesheets easy to read and maintain. So why would we ever want to take that beautiful code and crush it into a single, unreadable line?
The answer is simple: we don't do it for ourselves; we do it for our users.
Every space, every line break, and every comment in your CSS file adds extra bytes to the file size. While it might seem tiny, it all adds up, forcing your users to download a larger file than necessary. This leads to slower page load times. Minification is the process of stripping out all these unnecessary characters, creating the smallest possible file for the browser to download.

Crucial Pro-Tip: NEVER Work on the Minified File
Minified code is for browsers, not humans. Always keep your original, well-formatted, and commented CSS file (style.css) safe. When you need to make changes, edit the original file. Then, minify a copy of it for your production website, often named style.min.css. This workflow ensures your site is fast, but your code remains maintainable.
