Before we even consider compression, minification, and file concatenation, we should think about the ways in which we can simplify and optimize our existing style sheet without using third-party tools. Of course, we should have striven for an optimal style sheet to begin with, and in many aspects we did. However, our style sheet still leaves room for improvement. Some of these improvements we have ignored on purpose within Chapters 9, List Groupsand Accordions, as they would have detracted from the chapter's intended purpose.

We will address each of these tips and practices in turn.
