A page will NOT load an item in your CSS file that it isn’t using.

You can easily test this by uploading a 5mb image to your server, calling it in your CSS file but NOT using that specific class on any page. This image should not load (you would notice hang time on a 5mb file loading).

This is my understanding, feel free to prove me wrong!
