gulp-uncss
A deprecated Gulp plugin that removes unused CSS selectors from stylesheets by analyzing HTML files.
What is gulp-uncss?
gulp-uncss is a deprecated Gulp plugin that removes unused CSS selectors from stylesheets. It analyzes HTML files, URLs, or inline HTML to identify which CSS rules are actually used, then strips out the rest to reduce file size and improve front-end performance. The plugin integrates into Gulp build pipelines, allowing chaining with other CSS processing steps like Sass compilation and minification.
Frontend developers and build engineers using Gulp for their build processes who need to optimize CSS file sizes by removing unused styles.
It automates the removal of unused CSS directly within Gulp workflows, offering a streamlined way to reduce stylesheet bloat without manual auditing. However, it's now deprecated in favor of using UnCSS as a PostCSS plugin for more flexible CSS processing.
