Airlift’s Automatic CSS Optimization: Perfect Syncs for Site Updates

Airlift has been automatically optimizing your JavaScript code for some time. Now, we’ve extended this automation to include your CSS and fonts as well.

Here’s what this means: Every time you make changes to your site—whether adding new elements, changing themes, or updating layouts—Airlift automatically detects these changes and refreshes your CSS optimization within minutes.

Our system:

All with zero manual intervention.

Faster site loading with only the necessary CSS

Every website has many CSS files, but uses only a fraction for each page. This isn’t because the site is coded badly, but because CSS is intended to exist for every single permutation of device, browser, element, and user possible. As you can imagine, this redundancy adds bloat to sites. 

Rather than loading all CSS files on every page, we identify exactly which ones are needed and load only those parts. The result is a huge speed boost.

This advantage is unique to Airlift. It is very difficult to intelligently determine which CSS files are necessary for a page accurately, without breaking the site. This laser precision is why Airlift promises 90+ scores for any WordPress site. 

Confidently refresh your site, anytime

Used CSS dramatically improves loading speed—but it also means the optimization needs to stay in sync with your site changes. 

Previously, if you added anything new to your site, you needed to resync your site. The resync determines the necessary CSS, taking into account your changes. 

With our latest update, this sync—and the optimization—happens automatically.

With automatic CSS optimization, you can confidently update your site whenever needed. Add new sections, change layouts, modify styles—Airlift will keep everything looking exactly as it should. And as blazing fast as ever.
