No Inline CSS Styles

This hint checks if the HTML is using inline CSS styles.

Why is this important?

The use of inline CSS styles prevent the reuse of the styles anywhere else. The html markup of the page becomes hard to read for the naked eye. The inline CSS styles are hard to maintain and does not provide consistency since they are not stored in a single place. The inline styles are repeated downloaded by the client on every request since it does not provide you with browser cache advantage. Inline styles take precedence of external stylesheets, this could accidentally override styles that you did not intend to overwrite.
