The truth about CSS selector performance If you’re a web developer, you may have already heard that some CSS selectors are faster than others. And you’re probably hoping to find a list of the better selectors to use in this article. Well, not quite. But bear with me, I promise that by the end, you’ll have learnt something new about CSS selector performance.

And while artists and activists may have a similar vision for the world, their motivations change their reasons, too. That’s why I always focus on the philosophical parts of the answer because I know that I am speaking as an advocate for many types of WordPressers. I have a few other reasons, too, which you may not be aware of as you use our software every day. Why WordPress? Most importantly, the Four Freedoms of Open Source.
