Detection evidence
How Themerella detects Tailwind CSS

- A compiled stylesheet whose class set matches Tailwind utility naming
Report value
Every detected technology should include category, confidence, evidence, and practical risk/context so the result is useful beyond logo recognition.
False-positive boundary
What to verify before acting on Tailwind CSS evidence
- Compiled and purged Tailwind output removes the stylesheet origin, so detection relies on class patterns.
- Other utility-class systems can produce similar-looking class names, lowering confidence.
Next workflow
- Confirm Tailwind from utility-class density and prefix patterns.
- Check whether render-blocking CSS or large stylesheets affect performance.
- Review accessibility findings for color contrast and focus states.
