❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • What is a duplicate CSS rule?
    A duplicate CSS rule is a selector or declaration that appears more than once in a stylesheet, often causing redundancy or conflicting behaviour.
  • Will removing duplicates break my styles?
    Generally not — duplicates often serve no unique purpose, but always test after cleaning large stylesheets.
  • Is this tool free?
    Yes — the CSS Duplicate Finder is free to use without registration.
  • Can I import or upload a CSS file?
    You can paste your CSS directly. File upload support depends on your implementation preference.
