<b>Global CSS file vs inline styles: how builders ship your design</b>
Where a builder writes your CSS changes everything about caching.

— Elementor (default) writes per-page CSS files into uploads, cached separately, good for browser caching but messy on CDN purges.
— Bricks can output one global stylesheet plus per-page, cleaner to cache.
— Some setups dump critical styles inline in &lt;head&gt;, which kills caching but helps first paint.

<b>Pros (external files):</b> cacheable, reusable across pages.
<b>Cons:</b> render-blocking unless deferred, CDN purge headaches.
<b>Pros (inline):</b> no extra request, faster first paint.
<b>Cons:</b> re-downloaded every page, fattens HTML.

<b>Best for:</b> external cached files for content-heavy sites; inline only for single landing pages.
