CSS Specificity Calculator: questions
What is CSS specificity?
Specificity is the algorithm browsers use to decide which CSS rule wins when multiple rules target the same element. It's scored as four numbers (a,b,c,d) where a=inline, b=IDs, c=classes, d=elements.
Can I paste a whole stylesheet?
Yes. The audit extracts selectors from CSS rule blocks, counts !important declarations, and summarizes risks without uploading the stylesheet.
What is in the cascade review pack?
The pack includes selector counts, highest-specificity selectors, risk findings, a starter Node guard snippet, and a review checklist without copying the full CSS source.
