unused css slowing site

  • Hello!
    Im still fairly new to css matters and because my site is slow (mainly on mobile) im looking to remove unused css. Ive been researching and found video tutorials on doing so such as this one. Before i do anything, I would really appreciate advice on what to do to prep (backup site, etc), what are things that may go wrong, as a beginner what should i limit myself to editing/what should i avoid until im more experienced, and any other advice you may think of. When using the chrome developer ‘coverage’ tool, should i remove all red css (red indicates unused) or could some of them be important and used one day.
    Much appreciated!
