Product Description:

CSS Optimizer is a simple command line application that optimizes files used for web-development, such as external CSS files. It reduces the filesize significantly, 20-60% depending on your coding style, by stripping unneeded characters such as whitespace, tabs, newline characters, and semi-colons; but, it only elimates characters that are not vital to proper display of the CSS file.

CSS Optimizer Usage TipBBEdit Format - Version: 1.0, 11/29/2005 08:52AM PST

To get your formatting back, open your css file with BBEdit and select "Format" from the "Markup/CSS" menu. Voila! Edit your css and then recompress it.

CSS Optimizer ReviewGood stuff - Version: 1.0, 11/29/2005 05:33AM PST

Tony Walton

This does exactly what it says on the tin. All this strange talk of "it makes your code unreadable" seems to miss the point of what optimisation actually is. I wonder if the same complaints are made about compilers: "It's made my source code unreadable". ;-)

Think of this as a compiler – you keep your source code for editing but distribute the "compiled" (in this case optimised) version. Anyone wanting to see heavily-optimised code should take a look at Erik Bosrup's excellent tooltip library and compare the "development" version of overtlib.js ("source code") with the "production" (optimised) version overlib_mini.js, which is all but unreadable by humans.

This is good software - kudos to the author!
