Hi
My run test advises me to delete any unused CSS, but how do I know if the CSS isn’t been created or used by my theme?

I’ve only added a very small amount of custom CSS in my customizer and am only working with the neccesary plugings..

Thanks.

Hello there @kirstenvanharten

Removing unused CSS is not a simple process. An unused CSS selector in a stylesheet, needs to be identified before removing it. And you need to be extra careful because removing some CSS, that can seem to be unused, can break your site’s appearance.

Please see here some details information about how it’s done:

It is best to find someone that is very familiar with CSS on your site and knows how to do it, to make these changes for you.

Kind regards,
Nastia
