I've been looking for a CSS optimizer that will remove any styles that aren't actually used -- e.g. selectors matching ids and classes that don't exist in the html. Does anyone know of such a thing? Preferably easy to use from Jetbrains IDEs?

https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/critters Might be a good starting point. It’s designed to inline the css afterward so it’s more focused on extracting used css than removing unused.

Check out: https://github.com/uncss/uncss

I've only used it once but it did the job (NOTE: Plain HTML, plain CSS, no build pipeline. So YMMV)

As a starting point, Tailwind used to use PurgeCSS [0] but I'm not sure what they use now.
