1) Staging is meant to be an exact duplicate of live.
If you want to strip down a site then I would call that a development site.
.
2) 230 GB is not large it is massive. Are you sure you mean 230GB not 230MB?
Most sites I have worked with are between !50MB and 3GB
6,000 posts, 48 pages, a picture intensive architecture/design site.
we’re updating quite a bit and have 24 plugins.
still think it’s massive? your feedback is appreciated.
Does still sound over sized.
Unless my maths is wrong ( it’s early and using my phone ) then that averages 38mb per page which is too much.
It rather sounds like images are uploaded and stored in full resolution. Not a good idea unless you have a specific need.
we upload post images 2000px wide X 96dpi
feature images are 3200px wide x 144dpi
but we will get a line item tally and see where all the memory resides.
