🚀 Performance e otimização

1. Purge CSS

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  content: [
    './src/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}',
    './public/index.html',
  ],
  safelist: [
    'bg-red-500',
    'text-white',
    // Adicionar classes que não podem ser purged
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
}

2. JIT Mode

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  mode: 'jit',
  content: [
    './src/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}',
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
}
