Nuxt Tailwind CSS + Purgecss

Demo of using Nuxt with Tailwind CSS and Purgecss to drastically reduce CSS size.

Demo

Before and after stats

The before CSS bundle came out to 299kb, where as after running it through Purgecss, it dropped to 3kb (granted I'm only using around a dozen classes).

Performance

And since the CSS remains inline (due to using Purgecss as a postcss plugin) it scores perfect on Google Page Speed Insights! (This is after running nuxt generate and deploying the dist folder)
