How do you optimize Tailwind CSS for production to reduce file size?

The question is about Tailwind CSS

Answer:

You can optimize Tailwind CSS for production by deleting these extra classes to reduce the size of your CSS file. You would have to include paths to your HTML and JavaScript files in your ‘tailwind.config.js’ file so that PurgeCSS scans them for classes and only includes the used styles in the final CSS file. Minification further reduces the file size of the resultant CSS. This means it cleans up all unused utility classes in building a lean, production CSS version that is often much smaller, thus improving load times and performance overall.
