<div class='space-y-4'>
  <Component client:load />
  <Component client:load />
</div> The reason is simple. I’ve written about the cause in and how to fix it. a previous article You can read that article for more information, but the gist is: Astro components and slots wrap their contents in a div that has display: contents The selector, which Tailwind uses for its space utilities, cannot target the elements within these Astro components and slots * + * A simple fix Fixing this is simple. We have to modify Tailwind’s space utilities with a plugin — so they can dive one level beyond Astro’s components and slots. I’ve created this plugin and added it as part of Splendid UI. You can install Splendid UI like this. npm install splendid-ui Then you can use the plugin in your Tailwind config file like this: module.exports = {
  plugins: [require('splendid-ui/tailwind/plugins/astro-space.cjs')],
} (I know the path looks long and complicated right now. It's something I'll simplify in the future as Splendid UI becomes more mature. For now, enjoy something that works! 🙃). That’s it!
