Edit me from admin panel...### What is a CSS Minifier?

A CSS minifier is a tool that reduces the size of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) files by removing unnecessary characters such as whitespace, line breaks and comments. Browsers ignore these elements when interpreting CSS, so eliminating them has no effect on how your styles render. Minifying CSS files results in smaller file sizes, which means faster downloads and quicker page load times.

### Why Use a CSS Minifier?

Large CSS files slow down websites because they take longer to download and parse. By minifying your style sheets, you remove unneeded characters and reduce file size, which improves page speed and overall performance. Faster pages lead to better user experiences, improved search engine rankings and lower bandwidth consumption.

### How to Use the CSS Minifier

1. Copy your CSS code from your development environment.
2. Paste it into the input area of the CSS Minifier tool.
3. Click the Minify button to process the code.
4. Copy the minified version and replace your original file or reference it in your project.

The tool will remove redundant spaces, line breaks, tabs and comments while preserving the functionality of your styles.
