Question child themes and performance

  • Hello,
    I would like to know how much css you can put into a child theme’s css…of course technically there is no limit, but I am wondering about performance…I have made so many modifications that my child theme’s css is more than 600 lines(although with comments and spaces). I know you should add as little as possible, but what how much have you added? Is mine way too long?

    Use a third party tool such as https://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/ to figure out how long your pages take to load, and which files take longest.

    Then you’ll know whether your CSS is a problem or not.

    Consider using a caching plugin to speed the site up. Some have an option to “minify” your CSS, removing all those spaces etc so it loads quicker.

    But 600 lines doesn’t sound that extreme to me.

    Hi,tryingnew! Try to use Better WordPress Minify plugin. It looks like a strong solution in your case. Just follow instruction and enable “Minify CSS”.
