Some sites fail to analyze about cssstats

[bartveneman]

I've been doing some digging around, and it seems to me that the get-link-contents.js utility is a little broken, at least for some of the examples mentioned above. They suffer from get-css being able to find some <link>s on the page, linking to valid CSS, but the final result CSS string is empty.

Do you mind sharing a url so that someone can try to reproduce this specific case?

[vielhuber]

Can I do that via PM?

My Twitter DM's are open : @bartveneman

[vielhuber]

Done.

@alexieyizhe hackthenorth.com fails to analyze because the get-css package cannot find any CSS on the page: https://cssstats.com/api/css?url=hackthenorth.com. This is probably because all CSS is rendered by a CSS-in-JS solution (styled components, in this case).
This results in empty stats: https://cssstats.com/api/stats?url=hackthenorth.com.

@vielhuber Your issue is probably the same.

Currently, the components that display graphs are not taking 0 CSS very well, causing the page to break.

@johno How should the /stats page deal with a zero-css result? Should the graphs be hidden and regular 0 values be shown in the top of the page? Or should it show some kind of generic empty state instead of only 0 values to tell the user that it couldn't find any CSS?

Happy to submit a PR if you're interested.

A PR would be great @bartveneman!

v3.4.1 seems to have fixed a bunch of the above mentioned cases. I can confirm that @vielhuber's site now is showing results and another wesbite that was mentioned in my Twitter DM's is also fixed.

@alexieyizhe's website still doesn't report any CSS, but I think that's because it's using CSS-in-JS only: no CSS files shown in the network tab and a quick [...document.querySelectorAll('style')].map(s => s.innerHTML) returns an array of two empty strings.

That leaves us with the site still not showing a pretty empty state when no CSS was found.

I can confirm our website is working now. Thanks for all the work.
Please close if appropriate.

I cant analyze ibid.astra.co.id, can you help me ?

Service is very hit and miss for me -- mostly miss. For example, I host 2 very simple sites, on the same shared host. One resolves (https://taichikimkc.com/) the other does't (https://tjameswhite.com/). I have tried other sites as well and I'm getting about 25-30% success rate.

This is all just using the site: https://cssstats.com/stats/
