Frequently asked questions

Does minifying change how the CSS behaves?

No — only formatting is removed; selectors, properties, and values are preserved exactly, so styling behavior is unchanged.

Should I keep an unminified copy?

Yes — keep your original, readable CSS as the source file for future edits, and use the minified version only for production output.
