enable browser caching on digitalocean droplet
First, 
headers
and 
expires
modules must be enabled on the server:
sudo a2enmod headers 
sudo a2enmod expires
After that the server must be restarted:
service apache2 restart
Then it will work if 
.htaccess
contains the following:
# for enabling browser caching
<filesMatch ".(css|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|js|ico)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=2592000, public"

css-minify
First 
css-minify
package must be installed 
globally
npm install css-minify -g
Installing globally is necessary. Before minify command is run, 
css-dist
directory must be created, where the output will be saved. The command: 
css-minify -f css/d1.css
will minify the specified .css file.
Nesting
Sass code:
.site-header nav {
    ul {
        padding: 0;
        margin: 0;
    }
    li {
        list-style: none;
        float: left;
    }
}
After Sass preprocessor:
.site-header nav ul {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
}
.site-header nav li {
    list-style: none;
    float: left;
}
variables
Sass code:
$primaryColor: #ec7705;
a {
    color: $primaryColor;
}
After Sass preprocessor:
a {
    color: #ec7705;
}
