Compress CSS Using PHP

Hello after making the PHP Page GZIP still we need to speed up our website a bit more so we have to GZIP our CSS too so that it will load fast and help our html to load fast also. In this article we are going to compress our CSS using PHP and GZIP the CSS. Same as the PHP Page GZIP script this script is also very short and sweet. Hope you will like it. Dont forget to share it.

In this article we are using css as external css. We will write our css style and a php page where we will call it.

CSS GZIP Script

Put this script at the starting in your css.

<?php
ob_start ("ob_gzhandler");
header("Content-type: text/css; charset: UTF-8");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate");
$offset = 60 * 60 ;
$ExpStr = "Expires: " .
gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s",
time() + $offset) . " GMT";
header($ExpStr);
?>

Now save your css with .php extension. Please check again that you have changed the extension of your style file to .php from .css.

After these lines start writing your style codes.

Now just call your css in your php page same as we use to do earlier. Again we have to check for the extension we have to use .php else it will not work.

Your can check the demo here i am using the gzip css and php page gzip in my one of website here is the link  tellmequotes.com .
