GitHub describes it as Remove unused CSS. Also works with single-page apps.. The repository metadata lists JavaScript as its primary language. The metadata lists the MIT license. The README describes the project this way: A function that takes content (HTML/JS/PHP/etc) and CSS, and returns only the used CSS . PurifyCSS does not modify the original CSS files. You can write to a new file, like minification. If your application is using a CSS framework, this is especially useful as many selectors are often unused.

The README section "Potential reduction" states: Bootstrap file: ~140k App using ~40% of selectors. Minified: ~117k Purified + Minified: ~35k

The README section "Used selector detection" states: Statically analyzes your code to pick up which selectors are used. But will it catch all of the cases?

The README section "Examples" states: Example with both glob file patterns and source strings + minify + logging rejected selectors
