While using a CSS preprocessor, you notice that the compiled CSS has selectors that are excessively long and specific. What might be a potential cause for this in your source files?
- Overuse of nesting in SASS or LESS
- Lack of CSS optimization tools
- Errors in the preprocessor settings
- Incorrect order of imported stylesheets
Excessively long and specific selectors in compiled CSS are often caused by overusing nesting in preprocessors like SASS or LESS. While nesting can improve code organization, it can also lead to overly specific selectors that increase file size and reduce maintainability.
