CSS concatenation

CSS concatenation is the process of combining and minifying all CSS stylesheets that are loaded. This way the browser only has to load a single stylesheet instead of many, which saves many HTTP requests. The compression is done automatically when using TYPO3 v4.4 or greater.

The concatenated files are stored in folder /typo3temp/compressor/, typically:

../typo3temp/compressor/merged-43184ce406ccfb7c04df66f024414129-403f03ea0692e1f848b48ae4da48b005.css?1278079667
