Performance-first CSS

CSS architecture affects maintainability, rendering behaviour, and long-term performance.

This page is a summary. For full guidance, use Performance and CSS.

  • reduce unused CSS
  • split CSS by responsibility
  • avoid giant global stylesheets
  • prefer static-first rendering
  • avoid framework CSS overhead where unnecessary
  • keep selectors predictable
  • contain legacy CSS

Most CSS performance problems in production systems come from scale, architecture, and maintainability rather than raw selector speed.
