Understanding How CSSNano Works: An Analogy

Imagine CSSNano as a highly skilled chef preparing a gourmet dish. Each ingredient (CSS property) is meticulously analyzed for its necessity:

• The chef removes excess ingredients (like unused CSS) that do not add flavor.
• They finely chop other ingredients (compress colors and remove comments) to create a concentrated flavor.
• In the end, the dish is not only delicious but leaves room for additional garnishing (like responsive support via Browserslist).
