Bulky Script

Is there anyway to reduce the size? It’s insanely over-sized…

The script bundle is not configurable.

If you need further details or clarification, I would recommend contacting Wix Customer Care .

A blank wix web page has a page size of 500kb. The average top ranking websites are 100kb or less…

Again, you should discuss this with Wix Customer Care .

@yisrael-wix Will do. Has there ever been mention of plugins to compress code or? Just curious.

@ktmmacland Although script size is an important metric regarding web site performance, it’s not the only thing. Wix is very busy working towards improving web site performance - infrastructure (cloud, network, etc), frontend, backend, and many, many other technical aspects of the web environment.

Believe me, this is a top priority here at Wix. Stay tuned.

@yisrael-wix I definitely do love the editor, by far the best. But, I sure do hope they focus on compressing the code considering the code is 5-10 times heavier than the content on the page.

I honestly think that page speed has as much weight as everything else combined when it comes to ranking. Virtually every site on the top page of google or bing is less than 100kb aside from the occasional 100-150kb straggler.

@ktmmacland Well, ranking is one thing, perforance is another. In fact, performance is the “real” thing.

I suspect that everyone will start seeing performance improvements, although everything will understandably be phased in so improvement will be incremental.

But rest assured that this is being worked on.

@yisrael-wix I can agree to an extent. Performance wise wix sites do far better than than most. But from what I’ve seen, page size beats performance every time. Fishlore will have a low performance rating but very small page size and usually outranks all others. You can run the test on any topic such as SEO (Neil Patel 0.2kb page size) , online merchants, pets and etc, page size will always beat performance.
