# 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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-admin/pull/2933)
