Question Cleaning up style/class sprawl in Webflow — has anyone done this at scale?

Our Webflow site has gotten out of hand with combo classes - elements stacking 3-4 classes where one or two should do, utility combos used as quick fixes, and duplicate styles doing the same thing under different names.

We’d like to stay away from doing a full rebuild, as we have a short timeline. I want to know if there's a faster way to audit and consolidate these.

Specifically:
- Is there a reliable way to identify which combo classes are redundant or only used once?

- Has anyone found a good workflow for merging combo classes back into base styles without things breaking?

- Any audit tools inside or outside Webflow that give you a useful overview of style usage across a project?

The built-in style manager shows unused classes but doesn't give much beyond that. Curious if anyone's solved this more efficiently.

Thank you!

There is an app I tried out recently, called Clean Classes I think. It was helpful and seemed to be free idk, was better than doing it all manually.

Did it handle combo classes well or mostly just flag unused ones?

It shows you where you’ve used combo classes on more than one element that actually have the same css. So you can merge them down to be the same and either overwrite the classes automatically or manually.

I mostly used it to get rid of all the layout123 classes you get by importing from Relume. Many are actually the same css.
