CleanCSS.com is a powerful CSS optimizer and formatter. Basically, it takes your CSS code and makes it cleaner and more concise. I have processed the URL of my blog’s CSS, the following result showed the CSS code that I have to change it for optimization.

Optimised number: Changed “0px” to “0″
Optimised font-weight: Changed “bold” to “700″
Optimised color: Changed “#BBBBBB” to “#BBB”
Optimised shorthand notation (padding): Changed “1em 0 0 0″ to “1em 0 0″
Optimised shorthand notation (padding): Changed “0.9em 1.2em 0.9em 1.2em” to “0.9em 1.2em”
Optimised font-weight: Changed “normal” to “400″

Why optimize? Two reasons: It helps you get smaller CSS file sizes and better written code.
