CSS Animation Cheat Sheet VS Unused CSS finder

Awesome CSS3 plugin for spiffy animations

Crawl your website and find unused CSS

Ease of Use
The CSS Animation Cheat Sheet provides pre-built animations, making it easy to implement animated effects without writing custom CSS from scratch.
Time-Saving
By using pre-defined animations, developers can save time in creating complex animations, allowing for quicker prototyping and development.
Inspiration
The cheat sheet can serve as a source of inspiration for developers looking to incorporate engaging animations into their web projects.
Documentation
The cheat sheet includes detailed examples and documentation, helping developers understand how to implement and customize the animations effectively.
Cross-Browser Compatibility
The animations provided are designed to work across multiple browsers, which helps ensure a consistent user experience.

Limited Customization
Using predefined animations can sometimes limit the ability to fully customize the animations to fit specific project needs.
File Size
Including a library of animations can increase the overall file size of the web project, potentially affecting page load times.
Overuse
Relying too heavily on these predefined animations may lead to a lack of originality and uniform design across different websites.
Dependence on External Resources
If the cheat sheet is hosted externally, there might be dependability on external servers, and the functionality could be affected if the service is down.
Browser Performance
Complex animations can sometimes impact browser performance, particularly on lower-end devices, leading to a degraded user experience.

Efficiency
Identifies unused CSS, resulting in cleaner and more efficient code. This can lead to improved page load times and reduced bandwidth usage.
Ease of Use
Provides a straightforward interface that allows users to quickly scan their websites and find unnecessary CSS without needing extensive technical knowledge.
Cost Savings
By eliminating unused CSS, it reduces the amount of data that needs to be transmitted and stored, potentially saving on hosting and bandwidth costs.
Improved Maintenance
With a reduction in CSS file size, future maintenance becomes easier and more manageable, making it simpler to update or refactor code.

False Positives
May incorrectly identify CSS as unused if the tool does not recognize dynamic changes or conditional loading, which can lead to accidental removal of necessary styles.
Dependency on External Tool
Relying on an external tool could present privacy and security concerns, especially when sharing potentially sensitive code and styling information.
Manual Verification
Requires manual verification of results to ensure important styles are not removed, which can be time-consuming and somewhat negate the tool's time savings.
Incompatibility with Complex Frameworks
Might not effectively handle complex CSS frameworks or preprocessors, where styles are used indirectly or dynamically through Javascript or server-side frameworks.
