Cool, thanks. Those are some pretty big numbers. What kind of a site is it?
It is really interesting to see the variance, btw. Twitter, KickStarter and Bootstrap running at thousands of rules, Google and Wikipedia at under 200. And a whole bunch in the 500-1000 range, such as Facebook, Amazon and Mozilla. I'm actually surprised at the relatively low rule-count for Facebook and Amazon as both those sites always gave me the impression (perhaps mistakenly) of having more CSS rules than I could read in a lifetime. Conversely, Github and Stack Overflow have more rules than I would have expected.
I guess that just goes to show that CSS complexity and visual clutter do not necessarily correlate.
Pretty sure the Facebook one is just checking their logged-out page, which is much more straightforward than the logged-in view. Logged-in I count ~144kb of CSS, which still isn't bad, but isn't as mind-bogglingly low.
Amazon is definitely impressive though!
(As are Stripe, Apple, and Airbnb, in basically that order.)
That site specifically was a porn site. Our 3.0 upgrade of the site involved a lot "get this working, NEXT!" so the CSS is kind of a mess. I've got a nice stat page to show me just how much of a mess now though!
It looks like we have a bug and that we're not grabbing all of amazons css - just the first referenced stylesheet. Opening an issue on github. Thanks for the heads up.
This was happening to me too. I could see the output from node that said it figured out there were multiple stylesheets, but it didn't seem to care, and just went about its business showing the first one.
