Astro build with 130 blogs

[thorn kayak]

Hi, I have one problem with blogs in my repo.

So i have about 130 blogs and each blog has its own heroImage and I have problem building my site because it takes about 20 minutes and fails because of time limit... Here are 2 pictures how i display my blogs and I tried everything without SSR too.

My question is what can i do to speed up building of all those images. Thanks.

I am using Astro Image component for displaying images

Hey @barren ginkgo You probably want to open a separate thread in #1019713903481081876 as it does not look like your issue is related to this post and I would hate for you to not get the help you need 😦

@paper hazel The support thread referenced in #general message

Ok so if you’re using <Image /> this will handle caching for you @thorn kayak

can you show the errors you’re getting during build

[thorn kayak]

Its just that it takes too long to build

[paper hazel]

Are you using Astro compress integration ?

If so try turning that off and the rebuild

[thorn kayak]

yes i have that

[paper hazel]

Try without that

[thorn kayak]

whatt?? so it build in 10 seconds?

[paper hazel]

Yes that integration is extremely aggressive version of sharp

And it’s going through all the versions of your images

I don’t know why it’s timing out though

If you want to keep using it I would open an issue on its repo

But you don’t need it at all

[thorn kayak]

so is it bad that i have withouth compress or its whatever?

oh so its not needed

[paper hazel]

No compress is not needed at all

[thorn kayak]

oh okay

will push to repo and will let you know if preview builds

[paper hazel]

you already have minified html css and js files as well as images

[thorn kayak]

oh okay thanks for letting me know

[paper hazel]

I used to use that too and gave up on it since it caused me weird issues in past

[thorn kayak]

oh yea, it build my site in preview

its working thanks

[paper hazel]

If your issue is resolved, please help by doing the following two steps:

2. From the same ellipses, select Close Post.
   Your post will still be available to search and can be re-opened simply by replying in it. Closing a post moves it down with older posts, so we can more easily focus on issues that still need to be resovled.
   Thank you for your help!

@paper hazel @thorn kayak Hey I'm looking into this too right now. The reason I started going for playform/compress myself is that without it, all my code comments seem to be left in the deployed code, which is undesired.

In particular, simply enabling the HTML minification shows ~10% file size reduction for me. CSS compression doesn't seem like it works. JS compression is only like 0.5%.

So for blaz, you can likely adjust the compress integration settings like below to only have HTML minification.

compress({
      HTML: true,
      JavaScript: false,
      CSS: false,
      Image: false, // astro:assets handles this. Enabling this can dramatically increase build times
      SVG: false, // astro-icon handles this
    }),

Yes, thanks alot for help 😁
