First publish used to push out thousands of files — now it’s down to hundreds. Honestly thought something was broken at first, but the site was fine. Looks like a quiet optimization they snuck in. Nice improvement either way. ---

Oh yeah, that happened! The Core Components, CMS, and Forms have been separated out, so now we only upload what you use. If you’re not using the CMS or the Forms your upload will be super small 😃
