In some rare use cases, you may need to defer the execution of a template until after all sites and output formats have been rendered. One such example could be [TailwindCSS](/functions/css/tailwindcss/) using the output of [hugo_stats.json](/getting-started/configuration/#configure-build) to determine which classes and other HTML identifiers are being used in the final output:

The [Output Format](/templates/output-formats/), [Site](/methods/page/site/), and [language](/methods/site/language) will be the same, even if the execution is deferred. In the example above, this means that the `site.Language.Lang` and `.RelPermalink` will be the same on the inside and the outside of the deferred template.
