Resolve CSP blocking inline styles in Experience Cloud LWC
Real World Scenario
Chart LWC renders in Lightning app but shows unstyled in Experience Cloud site; console reports Content-Security-Policy violations on inline styles.
Expected Answer

• Use CSS custom properties set on host element for dynamic values
• Verify static resource CSP allowlist in Experience Builder
• Third-party chart libs may inject inline styles — wrap or choose CSP-compatible library
• Check LWR vs Aura site template CSP differences
• Avoid eval and innerHTML from untrusted data compounding CSP issues
• Test in published site not just builder preview
