What is grunt-critical-css?
grunt-criticalcss is a Grunt plugin that extracts and outputs the critical CSS needed to render the above-the-fold content of a web page. It helps improve page load performance by inlining these essential styles directly into the HTML, reducing render-blocking requests. The plugin wraps the criticalcss library to integrate this optimization into Grunt-based build workflows.
Frontend developers and build engineers using Grunt who want to automate critical CSS extraction as part of their performance optimization pipeline.
It provides a straightforward, configurable way to integrate critical CSS extraction into existing Grunt workflows, with options for custom viewports, selector inclusion, and memory management, making performance optimization more accessible.
