David from
bloggingpro.com wrote up an interesting article that compares four different CSS
optimization products (CSS Optimizer,
Icey’s CSS
Compressor, Flumpcakes CSS
Optimizer, and CleanCSS).
Even
though you might not think that CSS Optimization is not that important. But it
could mean the difference of 1 or 2 seconds for high-speed users or up to 5 or
more seconds for dialup users.
Here are
the results of his tests on five different sites (Digg.com,
Slashdot, Filmsy,
iBegin, Download.com,
and ESPN).
