Minifying My Blogger Theme's CSS with Gemini: A Practical Log
This is a direct log of how I used Google's Gemini Pro to minify my Blogger theme's CSS, achieving a 54.6% reduction in file size. The process was straightforward and the result is a significantly faster-loading site. Here's the breakdown.
The Original CSS
This was the starting point. The CSS was readable with comments, spacing, and newlines, but it was large.

The Minification Process
I asked Gemini to minify the code. Here is a summary of the actions it took:
- It removed all unnecessary whitespace, including spaces, tabs, and line breaks.
- It stripped out all comments (like
/* This is a comment */). - It removed the final semicolon from each CSS rule block, as it's not required.
- It combined the code into a single, dense line.
- Finally, it wrapped the minified code back into the necessary
The Result: Minified CSS
This is the final, minified code. It's not human-readable, but it's much smaller and more efficient for a web browser to download and process.
