compared CSSTidy with best compression, YUICompressor and MS’ Ajaxmin. The verdict is still the same – CSSTidy looks the best, but there really isn’t that big of a difference between the three (and virtually no difference between YUIC and Ajaxmin), especially if you take into account gzipping.
Still on average you get about 35% size reduction when you minify and 80% when you gzip the minified CSS. Meaning when all is done your users only download 19-20% of what they would normally do if you don’t perform these simple optimizations.
