CSS Diagnostics FAQs

Question 1

What kind of performance improvements can I expect?

Accepted Answer

By following the optimization suggestions, users often see a 10-30% reduction in CSS file size, which leads to faster rendering times and better compatibility with resource-constrained devices like e-readers.

Question 2

How does the CSS Diagnostics skill detect unused code?

Accepted Answer

The skill parses all specified XHTML or HTML files in your project to map every class, ID, and element selector, then compares that map against your CSS files to identify selectors that never appear in the markup.

Question 3

Does it identify classes used in HTML that have no CSS styles?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it flags 'Missing Definitions,' highlighting classes or IDs present in your XHTML that haven't been defined in your stylesheets, ensuring no intended styling is overlooked.

Question 4

Does it automatically delete the unused CSS code?

Accepted Answer

No, it generates a detailed report and recommendations. This allows you to review flagged selectors to ensure they aren't reserved for dynamic scripts, templates, or future content before you manually remove them.

Question 5

Can I use this for print-on-demand (POD) stylesheet optimization?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is specifically designed to compare digital styles against print-pod styles, helping you identify redundant rules and ensure font-size or layout conflicts are handled via proper media queries.
