Scaling Considerations
Tailwind scales well with proper component abstraction. JIT compilation keeps CSS bundles small regardless of classes used.
Security Considerations
No security concerns with CSS. Ensure user-controlled classes are sanitized to prevent XSS.
Performance Optimization
Use JIT mode, purge unused styles in production, lazy load non-critical CSS, optimize for Core Web Vitals.
