Will SASS ruin my SEO?

[DanielBernhardt]

Hello, I am thinking about using SASS for my website, striping the current CSS style sheets and translating it all to SASS.. will this hurt my SEO?

No, that's not true.

Think SASS or SCSS are processed at server-side, and get a normal CSS stylesheet to the client.

SASS or SCSS can help you to manage your CSS files and classes, but you need to pre-process them to generate the final CSS sended to the client. If the final product doesn't change, seo will not change too.

I agree with this. One thing you have to watch out for in using SASS is alienating older browsers or IE. With control like SASS comes problems also. Here lately I have seen a lot of cases where people use SASS and end up with too many selectors for IE to handle. Depending on the size of the site and how it is generated, this can be a real issue.

Also, I would precompile and not compile at run time as well. It will add a processing overhead if you don't precompile.
