Production Server

[easYnow]

Hi All,

I'm looking for ways to reduce the size of my JointsWP projects before deploying to production server.

Currently sites are between 200mb - 800mb, and a large portion of this is in the theme folder - Is it possible to reduce the file size?

How are other people handling this.

Any tips would be appreciated,

Cheers
Tom

You only need to upload it once, so just zip it and upload (or you could use git to push locally and pull changes remotely). Or if that is a problem you can remove the node_modules dir (which looks like the bulk of the data on my local builds), upload and then npm install remotely on the server (assuming u can ssh in and can install npm etc). Unless i'm missing something?

In the production server, the folder node_modules is not necessary.

For productions servers without npm and/or ssh access, what is the suggested workflow for pushing changes?
