CSS optimization means removing the unnecessary and redundant parts of your code with the goal of reducing file size. Why is that important? Well, reduced file size means reduced download time. If you want your page to load quickly you will have to optimize. Also, if your site has huge traffic, the difference between 10 and 20 kb on each page view means a lot when it comes to your bandwidth.
As mentioned, CSS optimization can be done using some of the CSS online optimizers or it can be done by hand. Most common optimizing actions are removing line breaks, empty spaces and deleting comments. Other, more important actions you can take is taking really good care of your code in terms of using shorthand properties, smart class naming, using general styles and smart use of CSS selectors.
