Oversized application.js

[m27387]

Question

After initiating the website via "hugo server" command, the ESBuild and npm module would generate oversized application.js files (appx. 18mb).

Situation

I have tried it on my personal laptop (macOSx) and a Linux Ubuntu VM on it. The results remain the same.

The screenshot above is a repo I directly forked from the original one without any modification.

The screenshot above is the one I derived the SourceMap via ESBuilder's option, it shows the SourceMap occupied approximately 10MB.

I followed the instructions from both your GitHub README.md and "tour-guides" from Netlify. However, the oversized js situation still occurred.

Also, if any of you don't mind, feel free to check the js file on my github fork.

Thank you for any kind of help and assistance.

I tried again on a Windows VM. The result remains the same

On example site, it is only 1.3MB. I am suspecting you did not provide --minify flag during site build.

Thank you for your response.
I did use --minify flag.
However, I switched to another framework.
Thanks again.
