About

A simple browser widget to extract Critical CSS and Full CSS from a page that can be used via the browser console.

The widget is based on a concept by Paul Kinlan, head of Chrome webdeveloper relations team.

https://gist.github.com/PaulKinlan/6284142

The snippet uses a Chrome innovation called getMatchedCSSRules which is deprecated and will be removed in Chrome 63. The Critical CSS Widget is made cross browser using a polyfill for getMatchedCSSRules.

Usage

Copy & paste the widget javascript code directly in the browser console (F12) and use the following methods with an optional callback to extract critical CSS.

Extract Critical CSS

// file download
critical.extract();

// callback
critical.extract('critical',function(css) {
   console.log('Extracted critical CSS:',css);
});

Extract Full CSS

// file download
critical.extract('full');

// callback
critical.extract('full',function(css) {
   console.log('Extracted Full CSS:',css);
});

Copy & Paste Instant Extract

The following code will instantly start a Critical CSS download after pasting the code into the browser console.

(function(d,c,s) {s=d.createElement('script');s.async=true;s.onload=c;s.src='https://raw.githack.com/style-tools/critical-css-widget/master/critical-css-widget.min.js';d.head.appendChild(s);})(document,function() {
   // critical css file download
   critical.extract();
});

The snippet uses raw.githack.com. You can also directly copy the code from Github and insert it in the browser console:
