Answer

Reducing the size of your CSS files is crucial for faster loading times and improved performance. You can achieve this by minifying your CSS, which removes unnecessary characters and spaces.

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
    /* Original CSS */
    body {
      margin: 0;
      padding: 0;
      font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    }
    
    /* Minified CSS */
    body{margin:0;padding:0;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;}
    <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

Use tools like CSSNano or CleanCSS to automate the minification process.
Consider removing unused CSS with tools like PurgeCSS.
Implement HTTP/2 to allow multiplexing of CSS files, reducing the impact of multiple requests.
Use media queries to load CSS conditionally, reducing unnecessary styles for certain devices.
