Used CSS

Matched at least one element in your HTML — kept as-is.

Possibly Unused CSS

Matched nothing in your HTML. Review before deleting — classes added by JavaScript won't show up here. See the FAQ below.

How Matching Works

  • Each rule's selector list is tested against your HTML with the browser's own selector engine — not a guess or a text search.
  • A comma-separated selector list (like .btn, .alert) is kept whole if any part matches, so it's never split apart.
  • Interactive pseudo-classes (:hover, :focus, etc.) are stripped before testing, since static HTML can't be "in" that state.
  • @media, @font-face, @keyframes, and other at-rules are always kept — not evaluated.

This flags candidates for removal. It doesn't delete anything automatically — classes toggled by JavaScript at runtime won't appear in a static HTML paste, so always review the "possibly unused" column before acting on it.
