Some suggestions for trimming down on WordPress.
A. Plugins may have lots of library or SDK files of external services.
Let’s pack them into a phar file.
B. The theme may have Node.js which contains the whole of node_modules, for building its CSS.
Let’s modify settings to bundle built CSS files and remove node_modules from the theme.
C. Migrated from other environments (self-hosted or managed hosted WordPress).
It may contain uncovered plugins by Shifter and they may occur fail of an Artifact generate. To solve this issue, import only articles. Then add plugin one by one, and check it works correctly.
After checking, generate and publish an artifact.
