Idea for an additional optimization (wp-custom-css)

    Hi,

    I’ve been trying to optimize my site’s content and I realized that the custom wordpress CSS isn’t being minified.
    So the workaround I figured is the following code. Hope there aren’t any pitfalls I don’t see there but if not, I think it’d be a good idea to add the plugin 🙂

    function minify_custom_css($css, $stylesheet)
    {
    return fastvelocity_min_minify_css_string($css);
    }
    add_filter(‘wp_get_custom_css’, ‘minify_custom_css’, 100, 2);

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    That would depend on how the custom css code was added.

    Are you using the standard api to enqueue a CSS file?
    https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/reference/functions/wp_enqueue_style/

    If you are, FVM should merge it together and minify it.

    If not, the function you posted will work fine, until you uninstall FVM.

    You could replace your return with a function exists to prevent future errors:

    if(function_exists('fastvelocity_min_minify_css_string')) {
return fastvelocity_min_minify_css_string($css);
}

    That way, it will minify if FVM is available and do nothing if you remove it.
    If you don’t do the function exists check… and remove FVM, you will have a Fatal error, since fastvelocity_min_minify_css_string would not exist.

    Hi,

    I’m not talking about the wp_enqueue_style CSS’s which FVM already handles.

    I’m referring to the Custom CSS that’s added via the UI.
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/

    This CSS can eventually be post-processed by the ‘wp_get_custom_css’ filter before being outputted.
    Given that on my site I have a pretty large “custom CSS” block, minifying it saves several additional KBs, which can’t hurt 🙂

    Regarding the function_exists, you’re right. I’ve already added on my site (just after posting this 🙂 )

    Ha! The customizer 🙂

    I’ll add an option to minify that too in the future, but for now that function would be the way to do it.

    Thanks
