In addition to the plugin execution performance, it is recommended to optimize the size of the plugin distribution that is downloaded by users from JetBrains Marketplace.
Users with a poor internet connection may cancel the download when they realize that it will take too long to wait for a plugin they are not sure will meet their expectations.
Consider the following techniques for optimizing the plugin distribution size:
* Decrease the number of dependencies. Check if the target platform includes utilities (like those mentioned in [](ui_faq.md)) or [libraries](api_changes_list.md#bundled-library-updates) you need and reuse them.
* Make sure no unneeded or multiple versions of the same dependencies are packaged in the plugin distribution.
* Optimize assets like icons, images, videos, etc.
* If large resources (e.g., SDKs) are needed only in specific setups, consider downloading them by the plugin on-demand instead of bundling them in the plugin distribution.
* If large resources (e.g., SDKs, reference documentation) are needed only in specific setups, consider downloading them by the plugin on-demand instead of bundling them in the plugin distribution.
[Obfuscation](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/marketplace/obfuscate-the-plugin.html) may also help reduce the distribution file size.
