I opened a production stylesheet once and found 40 kilobytes of comments, license headers, and trailing spaces. Nothing was broken, but every visitor paid for it on every page load.
The minifier removes comments and whitespace to shrink CSS to its smallest form, and shows the before and after sizes so you can actually report the win. Run it before you deploy a standalone stylesheet, and keep the readable copy in version control.
Try it now: open the free tool, runs 100{b8b7921c843ac9e5edcbca134af59decad3ed340e0e3b2e6c286158f277affea} in your browser.
Bottom line: strip comments and whitespace for the cheapest fast page in the stack.
Your turn: use the tool free here, no signup, nothing leaves your device.
