Hi
as much as I like PODS I just realized that using

echo $mypod->form();

loads about 7 mb of scripts to the page, I understand that pods-dfv.min.js might be neccessary, even though it’s wooping 1.4 mb!!! but load includes date.min.js or block-library.mij.js or tinemce.min.js, even though I only use two list fields.

Does anyone have experience with optimizing that bloat? I’d like to inlude only those libraries that are neccessary. I think using that in production might be really bad idea in the current state.

versions -> wordpress 6.1.1, newest Pods

Individual scripts you’re not using can be removed with https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/reference/functions/wp_dequeue_script/

Thank you – I know you can remove everything you want, but I don’t think it’s a good practice to include every wordpress script in the first place. What if I remove something which actually should stay, or I upgrade and my selection will be not acurate. That should be done one plugin’s level.

I’m sure @sc0ttkclark can take it into consideration that Pods form could selectively enqueue scripts based on the fields displayed in a future release. Patches welcome.

In the meantime, you have resources to optimize. If that doesn’t work, there is also the Pods Gravity Forms Add-on.
