What Unused CSS Finder is

Unused CSS Finder is a free web tool that checks whether CSS selectors match elements in supplied HTML, then produces a cleaned stylesheet. You can paste HTML and CSS, add optional JavaScript, or scan a URL. Results include the original and cleaned stylesheet sizes, estimated savings, and rule sets identified for removal. Selector checks use the browser’s querySelectorAll against a DOM created from the supplied HTML. JavaScript scanning recognizes documented patterns for vanilla JavaScript, jQuery, React, Vue, Alpine.js, Angular, and Svelte. It handles conditional at-rules, native CSS nesting, pseudo-classes, comma-separated selector lists, and multi-class selectors. Rules such as @keyframes, @font-face, and @import are preserved, as are vendor pseudo-elements. The cleaned CSS keeps its formatting, property values, and comments; it is not minified. Pasted code is analyzed in the browser. URL scans use a same-server PHP proxy, fetch only same-domain CSS and JavaScript, and skip external resources and JavaScript files over 500 KB.

Who it suits

It suits developers who want to identify CSS rules not matched by supplied page markup. URL scanning may not fit authenticated pages or sites that rely on external scripts or runtime-generated classes; the maker suggests pasting rendered HTML and stylesheet contents for pages behind login.
