Various free net services that will optimize CSS and reduce file size

Although it is CSS which can be said to be essential in the production of the page, it seems that it can contribute to speeding up page loading by optimizing the CSS file, and saving transfer fee if it is a site with high traffic.

So, I searched for various CSS optimization net services that exist at the moment and enumerated them. Even if we say optimization, there are various methods depending on the service, so it may be possible to find the optimization site in the direction that I am aiming from among them.

The list of free net services that will optimize CSS and reduce file size is as follows.
