Just wanted to follow-up and let you know that the RGB fixes are implemented, and I also added the lower-case color names and hex values. The documentation should also be 100% now. Thanks again for the great article.

Fantastic article! I am also humbled by the nice comments about the Lottery Post CSS Compressor.

I was mortified to read that there is a bug in the RGB translation, so I took a look at the code, and it’s a really dopey error on my part. It’s fixed in dev, and I’m going to push out an update hopefully by tomorrow (Jan. 29).

I really appreciate that you pointed out the problem.

I’m also going to try and add the lower-case color conversion – every byte counts! I had not heard about that one. Since I gzip everything myself, I’ll be enjoying the micro-savings.

One big reason to include micro-savings: over time, high volume sites like Lottery Post chew up a lot of bandwidth, and all those bytes really do add up, in both performance and real dollars.

A few other comments:

- The LP CSS Compressor does in fact remove decimals, and it is in the documentation on the site. For example, 10.0px becomes 10px.

- Something else it does – which I failed to document (I will rememdy) is that it removes a leading zero before a decimal point. For example, 0.9em becomes .9em. (A safe conversion.)

- Another small, safe savings achieved by Lottery Post (but not yet documented) is removing the space(s) before “!important”. I’m not sure if this is worthy of mention, but I didn’t see it in the descriptions.

Again, excellent article, and fantastic job on the comparison table!
