It could be pretty nice if you include to your build some of powerfull css
minifier. Hier is some infos about css optimizer:

CSS Compressor's code is all entangled with its web front end. Would you like 
to 
rewrite it as a class with a ::minify($css, $options) method?

My favorite consideration is CSSTidy; using a true parser might be necessary if 
CSS3 
syntax gets more wacky.

From what I can tell *none* of these preserve comment hacks. I know these are 
thankfully headed out of style, but I don't want to potentially break users' 
CSS to 
save just a few bytes.

I don't know if CSSTidy has the same compress ratio as the first one, but it 
seems to
know all optimization rules.

I whould not set it as default class, just like additional possibility, that I 
can
configure throw compressorname as a parameter.

Such css compressor can make the file 60% smaller, sometimes its not just a few 
bytes.

By minifying javascript you are also breaking users code. So for that case I 
whould
build a debug mode, in which no css and javascript files will be 
minified/optimized
