-- Last week I released a video discussing Bootstrap. In this video, I mentioned I used PurgeCSS to remove unwanted CSS, which resulted in a drastically smaller file size. Today, we're going to use a similar tool called UnCSS with the help of PostCSS to do just that.

PostCSS allows you to chain together a number of CSS tools.

You can use PostCSS in a number of environments, and for this one, we're going to use Parcel (You can also use Gulp, Grunt, Webpack, etc..).

Uncss comes with a plugin that allows it to work with PostCSS, which is what we'll use. Uncss simply compares your HTML against your CSS, and removes any unused CSS rulesets.
