Hey Mohammad, Currently, the bulk of the compression occurs in the javascript, but it does optimize all plugins somewhat by improving the way they're packed. Commander will come down a bit in size.
I'd love to have wikitext compression too; there are some things I can do. But it's super tricky. Unlike javascript, wikitext is dependent on white space. Definitely not sure if I could reduce them by over 60% like you're suggesting though, unless you're thinking of stream compression, but that'd be outside the scope of this plugin. -Flibbles On Tuesday, January 19, 2021 at 10:37:19 PM UTC-5 Mohammad wrote: > Hi Flibbles > > This is amazing!
