Bloat?

    It would be very interesting to know what a 3.5mb (zipped) plugin can do beyond adding massive bloat to a website. If it were 35k I’d consider testing it – but at 10.5mb unzipped – no way.

    I can’t leave a review because I haven’t go as far as actually testing it, for the above reason.

  • Hello @mintjelly,

    I’m looking into the size and have the following to share:

    * /dist/app/index.js and /dist/embedded/index.js are essentially identical and are about 3MB each. I’m looking into pruning one of them.
    * About 2 MB is the @woocommerce/components and packages we export as wc.components.*, wc.date, wc.navigation, etc (for use by other plugins).

    The remainder is language files and PHP.

    I’ll look into removing one of the 3MB JS files if possible.

    Good news @mintjelly!

    I was able to reduce the .zip to 1.5MB and the unzipped to 6.6MB: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-admin/pull/2933
