CSS and Spiders

[SEODinosaur]

I am using website auditor for my onsite SEO and I am getting a ton of CSS warnings. How important is to fix these issues? Where would you place this in you priority list?

[Copstead]

It all depends on the warning.  What are they?

I treat every warning or error as a priority since if a tool can find them, so can Google.

[SEODinosaur]

Oh, Is there a difference in the severity of the errors? I thought errors were just errors...

[Copstead]

Definitely.

The error could be a broken url (404) not found, or maybe a redirected url (301 or 302) redirect.

It is really hard to diagnose unless we know the exact warnings you are getting.

[SEODinosaur]

None of those, these are only CSS errors and they target styling only.

[Copstead]

Again, it all depends on the error. There are css errors that hurt performance of the site.

[SEODinosaur]

Can you please give me an example?

[Copstead]

Minify css, use shorthand, avoid  @import, old unsupported css code.

Since I'm not sure what kind of warning you are getting, it is really tough to answer your question.

Here is a great css tool: http://www.minifycss.com/css-compressor/

and you can Validate it here: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

None of those is there anything else we should avoid?
