For platforms like Cloudflare Pages/Workers, does it serve any use?

according to the docs Configure build it is used for purging. so i would say: don’t commit no need to generate unless you purge. or for tailwindCSS alike [image] resources.PostProcess Processes the given resource after the build.

I use Tailwind CSS in some projects and I saw it is needed there css.TailwindCSS . So I think it boils down to whether a project needs cache busters or post processing.

Should hugo_stats.json be excluded in production?
