Do search engines see CSS generated content?

There is a wp theme menu structure:
HTML Code:
<div>
<span navfxtext="Home"> </span>
<a href="#"> Home </a>
</div>
To animate the buttons we need an additional layer <span> with the same text inside ("Home").
To avoid duplicates of keywords in the menu the tag <span> is left blank, and the text is stored in the parameter navfxtext from which it is inserted into the pseudo element :before using CSS
HTML Code:
span: before {
content: attr (navfxtext);
}
The question is: Do search engines see CSS generated content? Would it be a rendered text in the pseudo element by Google engine and considered as double: Home Home, Service pages Service pages, Contact us Contact us?
Is the theme considered as seo ready then?

    Download this web/dev Firefox plugin, use the 3 plugin settings below to simulate a Google Cache (text version) of your webpage.
    • Disable all javascript
    • Disable all images
    • Disable all styles

    If you can see the text/link while viewing a text only version of your page, Google can see the same text/link.

    Hi,
    Actually No.. Disable the Javascript content. Enable the crawling codes where search engines can crawl. There are set of rules in web page design based on that we need to code.
