## What it is
ct.css is a small diagnostic CSS stylesheet that visually exposes performance problems in a page's <head>, such as render-blocking scripts and stylesheets. It is injected via a link tag, style tag, or Chrome DevTools snippet and color-codes problematic head elements.

## Use cases
- audit render-blocking resources in my page head
- find blocking scripts and stylesheets slowing page load
- debug head tag ordering for performance
- visualize which third-party files block rendering
- check if my head is well-formed for critical rendering path

## When to choose
- you want a zero-install, paste-in diagnostic for head-related render-blocking issues
- you need a quick visual audit during front-end performance work

## When to avoid
- you need full performance profiling or metrics rather than head-tag diagnostics
- you rely on dynamically injected scripts, which can be falsely flagged
- you need a maintained tool with a license and automated analysis

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, monitoring, css-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, performance, developer-tools
- platform: browser
