I am close to doing a UAT deployment of a small Angular4 website (approx. 15 components) to a test server, when I do a publish I see the file sizes in the screenshot below. This files are smaller than for development and smaller than Angular2 bundles and I have not configured netcore compression yet.

I cannot understand why main-client.js is almost 1MB though and how can I reduce it? My Components do no more than 1-2 http calls, display lists and / or allow form input. Its a very simple site.

If I look at main-client.js in VS2017 I notice it duplicates a lot of @License info if that's any clue?

Am I also right in thinking all the Bootstrap, JQuery and Angular stuff ends up in the Vendor file instead?

Thanks

Neil
