Size Limit

Size Limit is a performance budget tool for JavaScript. It checks every commit on CI, calculates the real cost of your JS for end-users, and throws an error if the cost exceeds the limit.

Calculate the real cost to run your JS app or lib to keep good performance. Show error in pull request if the cost exceeds the limit.

Size Limit is a performance budget tool for JavaScript. It checks every commit on CI, calculates the real cost of your JS for end-users and throws an error if the cost exceeds the limit.

  • ES modules and tree-shaking support.
  • Add Size Limit to Travis CI, Circle CI, GitHub Actions or another CI system to know if a pull request adds a massive dependency.
  • Modular to fit different use cases: big JS applications that use their own bundler or small npm libraries with many files.
  • Can calculate the time it would take a browser to download and execute your JS. Time is a much more accurate and understandable metric compared to the size in bytes.
  • Calculations include all dependencies and polyfills used in your JS.

Size Limit CLI

With GitHub action Size Limit will post bundle size changes as a comment in pull request discussion.
