Unused CSS Tool Recomendations
-
Hey moz,
Im currently converting my site to mobile as its an older template based on tables it will make a lot of CSS redundant. I cant delete as i go incase a page uses it im unaware of so need to clean it up when its done.
Is there a tool that crawls my entire website and highlights the unused CSS in the files? Ive found a few paying tools that claim to do so but am reluctant to just spend money on something without a recommendation.
Cheers!

Hi there.
I used to use a browser plugin called "dust me selectors". It was awesome, but then one day it stopped working on my computer for no obvious reason. However, it works on all other computers in our office.
So, give it a try. It's accurate and free. Of course, don't use it blindly, hoping that everything is 100% is done for you.
Also, I've heard that there is a github project for css clean up, but it was built for linux, so I never used it and don't know if it's any good. i believe it's this one https://github.com/addyosmani/grunt-uncss
Cheers.

Thanks for the suggestion I found this one too, i tried their single page one and it seemed ok.
But it doesn't let you download results to see how good they are, i was hoping for a recommendation from someone who has used a couple as i dont want to throw money at something to find out its a waste of time.

CSS Sprites
I have 6 social icons linked from the header area of my site and I am trying to replace them with a CSS Sprite but cannot get it to work. The current icons are located in a header widget area of my theme through a text box. When I add the new html in the text box and the CSS in the style sheet, the sprite does not show up. Are there any good tutorials on this subject?

Unused CSS
Is there any advantage to removing unused CSS on a wp theme template. If removed will it not merely be added with the next update?

Client needs a basic page analysis tool
I have a client that I work with that is a real estate business. They aren't in need or don't want to pay for full seo services at this time, but would like to do some basic page analysis and correction to make sure their pages are at least somewhat properly target for their keywords. The SEOMOZ tools that I have access to as a PRO are overkill for their needs. Do you all know of any basic tools that can just handle something like the page analysis feature of seomoz? Thanks for your help. Steven
