In a recent project, one of my tasks was to optimize and minify the styles included by the child-theme by combining and minify the styles of the parent theme into one file or include as custom inline style.
While working on the task, I ended up reading multiple resources to and writing the function below.
The function first fetches all the styles that are being included on page, and then for the handles belonging to the parent theme, the script then concatenates the scripts and then minifies by using preg_replace().
The generate combined CSS is stored in a database table and updated every 24 hours(triggered on page load).
It then de-registers the style handles we have combined and includes the custom style as an inline style.

You can place the code in your theme’s functions file and send the form via POST to admin-ajax.

On more than a few projects, I have ended up using Gravity Forms either because it was previously installed or was the need of the hour based on the requirements.
Recently, I was asked to ban a certain email address due to frequent spamming by the email address in concern. I am aware of the fact that the spammer can change email address and continue spamming. My task was simple, just ban the email address.
