Heads up! This blog post hasn't been updated in over 2 years. CodePen is an ever changing place, so if this post references features, you're probably better off checking the docs. Get in touch with support if you have further questions.

Open the menu in the HTML editor and you’ll see an option for “Analyze HTML”. While we were in there tweaking the rules to be more helpful, we added a new feature that we didn’t have before. It will now warn you if you use a class in your HTML that you haven’t defined anywhere in your CSS.

This GIF explains:

It doesn’t factor in JavaScript, so feel free to ignore its warnings if that’s why those class names are there. But to avoid the warning entirely for JavaScript-related classes, start the class with js-* and it won’t warn you. That’s a pretty decent best practice anyway, I’d say.
