The minimal amount of CSS is best! I’ve written about how this is a hard problem in the past. In JavaScript-land, the equivalent is tree shaking (removing unusued JavaScript).

But what about the other way around, detecting classes in HTML that aren’t used in your CSS? If you knew this for sure, you could clean up your markup, removing classes that don’t do anything.

I saw Robert Kieffer post a Gist the other day with an interesting solution. The idea is to load up document.styleSheets and find all the rules (the ones that are classes). Then, use a MutationObserver to watch the DOM for all HTML, and check the classList of each node to see if it matches any from any stylesheet.

I gave it a quick whirl and got it working and correctly reporting unused classes:
