Using Play CDN on Production site, is it safe?

[yabdab]

I know the site reads "is not the best choice for production." , but can it be safe to use on low traffic sites?

What are the cons to using the cdn on a production site?

It's safe in a security sense if that's what you mean, it's just not a good choice for performance.

The JS script is a lot bigger than your CSS file would be, and the styles are applied at run-time which means you can have flashes of unstyled content. This is especially noticeable if you ever have elements that are dynamically added to the page after it first loads.

Is there a way to build a css file that contains most of what TW offers?
I am working on project that builds content dynamically and using conventional jit build methods are not possible.

@adamwathan As to the flickers, all I would need is a callback or event from PlayCDN when it's done with the styles. That way, I could hide new content until that moment.

There are many scenarios where nodejs-based builds are not an option. I have some ASP.NET-based projects, for example.
