Count the number of rules and selectors for CSS files on the page. Flags up the >4096 threshold that confuses IE. — This snippet has been modified to count more than just the first level of CSSStyleRule objects within CSSMediaRule.

countCSSRules.js

function countCSSRules() {
    var results = '',
        log = '';
    if (!document.styleSheets) {
        return;
    }
    for (var i = 0; i < document.styleSheets.length; i++) {
        countSheet(document.styleSheets[i]);
    }
    function countSheet(sheet) {
        var count = 0;
        if (sheet && sheet.cssRules) {
            for (var j = 0, l = sheet.cssRules.length; j < l; j++) {
                if (!sheet.cssRules[j].selectorText) {
                    if (sheet.cssRules[j].cssRules) {
                        for (var m = 0, n = sheet.cssRules[j].cssRules.length; m < n; m++) {
                            if(sheet.cssRules[j].cssRules[m].selectorText) {
                                count += sheet.cssRules[j].cssRules[m].selectorText.split(',').length;
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
                else {
                    count += sheet.cssRules[j].selectorText.split(',').length;
                }
            }

            log += '\nFile: ' + (sheet.href ? sheet.href : 'inline <style> tag');
            log += '\nRules: ' + sheet.cssRules.length;
            log += '\nSelectors: ' + count;
            log += '\n--------------------------';
            if (count >= 4096) {
                results += '\n********************************\nWARNING:\n There are ' + count + ' CSS rules in the stylesheet ' + sheet.href + ' - IE will ignore the last ' + (count - 4096) + ' rules!\n';
            }
        }
    }
    console.log(log);
    console.log(results);
};
countCSSRules();

Suggest wrapping a check around line 17:

if(sheet.cssRules[j].cssRules[m].selectorText) {
    count += sheet.cssRules[j].cssRules[m].selectorText.split(',').length;
}

This avoids any "TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of undefined" errors.

Updated code:

function countCSSRules() {
    var results = '',
        log = '';
    if (!document.styleSheets) {
        return;
    }
    for (var i = 0; i < document.styleSheets.length; i++) {
        countSheet(document.styleSheets[i]);
    }
    function countSheet(sheet) {
        var count = 0;
        if (sheet && sheet.cssRules) {
            for (var j = 0, l = sheet.cssRules.length; j < l; j++) {
                if (!sheet.cssRules[j].selectorText) {
                    if (sheet.cssRules[j].cssRules) {
                        for (var m = 0, n = sheet.cssRules[j].cssRules.length; m < n; m++) {
                            if(sheet.cssRules[j].cssRules[m].selectorText) {
                                count += sheet.cssRules[j].cssRules[m].selectorText.split(',').length;
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
                else {
                    count += sheet.cssRules[j].selectorText.split(',').length;
                }
            }

            log += '\nFile: ' + (sheet.href ? sheet.href : 'inline <style> tag');
            log += '\nRules: ' + sheet.cssRules.length;
            log += '\nSelectors: ' + count;
            log += '\n--------------------------';
            if (count >= 4096) {
                results += '\n********************************\nWARNING:\n There are ' + count + ' CSS rules in the stylesheet ' + sheet.href + ' - IE will ignore the last ' + (count - 4096) + ' rules!\n';
            }
        }
    }
    console.log(log);
    console.log(results);
};
countCSSRules();

Nice, thanks! (updated gist)

For anyone looking for a Grunt script: (see maxSelectors)
https://github.com/phamann/grunt-css-metrics

Above grunt module is no longer maintained. phamann/grunt-css-metrics#10

It ignores the import rule. In case one needs to known the total count of rules including the imported rules, here the modified script:

(function countCSSRules() {
    var log = '',
		listOfImportRules = [],
		totalRules = 0,
		totalSelectors = 0;
    if (!document.styleSheets) {
        return;
    }
    for (var i = 0; i < document.styleSheets.length; i++) {
        countSheet(document.styleSheets[i]);
    }
    function countSheet(sheet) {
        var count = 0;
        if (sheet && sheet.cssRules) {
            for (var j = 0, l = sheet.cssRules.length; j < l; j++) {
				
				if(sheet.cssRules[j] instanceof CSSImportRule) {
					listOfImportRules.push(sheet.cssRules[j].styleSheet);
				} else if (!sheet.cssRules[j].selectorText) {
                    if (sheet.cssRules[j].cssRules) {
                        for (var m = 0, n = sheet.cssRules[j].cssRules.length; m < n; m++) {
                            if(sheet.cssRules[j].cssRules[m].selectorText) {
                                count += sheet.cssRules[j].cssRules[m].selectorText.split(',').length;
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
                else {
                    count += sheet.cssRules[j].selectorText.split(',').length;
                }
            }

            log += '\nFile: ' + (sheet.href ? sheet.href : 'inline <style> tag');
            log += '\nRules: ' + sheet.cssRules.length;
            log += '\nSelectors: ' + count;
            log += '\n--------------------------';
			totalRules += sheet.cssRules.length;
			totalSelectors += count;
        }
		
		if(listOfImportRules.length > 0) {
	        countSheet(listOfImportRules.shift());
		}
		
    }
    console.log(log);
    console.log("Total Rules: "+ totalRules + "  Total Selectors: " + totalSelectors);
})();
