analyze-css
CSS selectors complexity and performance analyzer. analyze-css is built as a set of rules bound to events fired by CSS parser. Each rule can generate metrics and add "offenders" with more detailed information (see Usage section for an example).
Install
analyze-css comes as a "binary" for command-line and as CommonJS module. Run the following to install them globally:
npm install --global analyze-css
Usage
Command line tool
You can use analyze-css "binary" to analyze local CSS files or remote CSS assets:
analyze-css --file examples/elecena.cssanalyze-css --url http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/style/base.css
You can provide CSS via stdin as well (notice the dash: -):
echo ".foo {margin: 0 \!important}" | analyze-css -
This will emit JSON formatted results on stdout. Use --pretty (or -p shortcut) option to make the output readable for human beings.
Basic HTTP authentication can be provided through the options --auth-user and --auth-pass.
CommonJS module
var analyzer = require('analyze-css');new analyzer('.foo {margin: 0 !important}', function(err, results) { console.error(err); console.log(results); // example? see below});
// options can be providedvar opts = { 'noOffenders': true};new analyzer('.foo {margin: 0 !important}', opts, function(err, results) { console.error(err); console.log(results); // example? see below});```

npm i grunt-contrib-analyze-css
It uses configurable threshold and compares the analyze-css result with it.

Metrics
- base64Length: total length of base64-encoded data in CSS source (will warn about base64-encoded data bigger than 4 kB)

- colors: number of unique colors used in CSS
- comments: number of comments in CSS source
- commentsLength: length of comments content in CSS source
- complexSelectors: number of complex selectors (consisting of more than three expressions, e.g. header ul li .foo)
- complexSelectorsByAttribute: number of selectors with complex matching by attribute (e.g. [class$="foo"])
- duplicatedSelectors: number of CSS selectors defined more than once in CSS source
- duplicatedProperties: number of CSS property definitions duplicated within a selector
- emptyRules: number of rules with no properties (e.g. .foo { })
- expressions: number of rules with CSS expressions (e.g. expression( document.body.clientWidth > 600 ? "600px" : "auto" ))
- oldIEFixes: number of fixes for old versions of Internet Explorer (e.g. * html .foo {} and .foo { *zoom: 1 }, read more)
- imports number of @import rules
- importants: number of properties with value forced by !important
- mediaQueries: number of media queries (e.g. @media screen and (min-width: 1370px))
- multiClassesSelectors: reports selectors with multiple classes (e.g. span.foo.bar)
- parsingErrors: number of CSS parsing errors
- oldPropertyPrefixes: number of properties with no longer needed vendor prefix, powered by data provided by autoprefixer (e.g. --moz-border-radius)
- propertyResets: number of accidental property resets
- qualifiedSelectors: number of qualified selectors (e.g. header#nav, .foo#bar, h1.title)
- specificityIdAvg: average specificity for ID
- specificityIdTotal: total specificity for ID
- specificityClassAvg: average specificity for class, pseudo-class or attribute
- specificityClassTotal: total specificity for class, pseudo-class or attribute
- specificityTagAvg: average specificity for element
- specificityTagTotal: total specificity for element
- selectors: number of selectors (e.g. .foo, .bar { color: red } is counted as two selectors - .foo and .bar)
- selectorLengthAvg: average length of selector (e.g. for .foo .bar, #test div > span { color: red } will be set as 2.5)
- selectorsByAttribute: number of selectors by attribute (e.g. .foo[value=bar])
- selectorsByClass: number of selectors by class
