Proposal
According to PageSpeed there is significant CSS bloat in my website. This is bad for SEO and also increases download time and computational requirements and memory requirements for my website.
Motivation and context
I ran my homepage through Purify CSS Online. Purify CSS indicated that 84% of the CSS provided by Bootstrap 5.3.6 is unnecessary. Purifying my CSS file would reduce it from 226 kB down to 37 kB.
My suggested resolution is a single executable file that performs the same function as Purify CSS. This could be used as part of the build process for many static site generators such as Zola and Hugo.

Research direction
The issue names no repository file or test. Start by reviewing Bootstrap's build process and the Purify CSS comparison described in the issue; clarify the intended input, output, and supported static-site workflows. Done would require an agreed standalone executable scope and validation, but no acceptance test is provided.
