Direct answer
To use css-minifier, start with a small representative input, reduce unnecessary characters without changing semantics, and inspect the result before relying on it.
Key takeaways
- Purpose: reduce unnecessary characters without changing semantics.
- Check: selector specificity, computed styles and browser compatibility.
- Limitation: minification or transformation does not correct flawed layout logic.
Common mistakes
- Assuming the output is correct because the operation completed. Instead, inspect selector specificity, computed styles and browser compatibility.
- Using production or confidential material as the first test. Use a card layout with padding, a border and a mobile breakpoint instead.
- Ignoring compatibility: minification or transformation does not correct flawed layout logic.
