Build weight is heavier than expected.

Hello @JohannesDeml !

I'm cloning your repo and using the 2023.1-urp branch to create a build. I'm upgrading to 2023.1.18f1 and upgrading packages to their latest version.

I'm changing the Build Target to WebGL and using the webgl2 build tool that is added to the toolbar. Literally changing nothing to the project other than upgrading stuff.

But the result is way heavier that what you have. You can see the reference to the data.br and wasm.br files.

What am I doing wrong?

I'm on MacOS Monterey 12.6 and using the Intel version of unity editor

Hi @pyscriptbug!

URP is ~3 MB larger than a builtin renderpipeline build. Sadly the automated URP builds for 2023.1 are failing for me (see game-ci/docker#214), therefore I don't have any numbers of the current build size for that version. If you have a look at all the live builds, you can see the size for webgl1, webgl2 with and without urp to get an idea.

What comes closest to your build is 2022.3.10f1-urp-webgl2 (5.81 MB) - With 5.81 MB this is still quite a bit smaller than your build, but I could imagine that this comes from new features in the URP package. I will do a local build to see at which size I'm ending up, but I could imagine that you're doing nothing wrong and this is just the size of 2023.1 with urp.

Thank you for your response @JohannesDeml!

That makes a lot of sense, I was comparing my build size to your built-in example. Even if it's a little bit heavier than the one you've provided it might be because of some new features added to URP in the latest version.

For completeness, here is the local build I made: 2023.1.18f1-webgl2-manualBuild (6.22 MB)

This matches your build size quite well :)

[JohannesDeml]

Oh, I forgot to mention. You can also build for min size (I added a menu command for that in the project)

Then the build ends up being almost one MB smaller: 2023.1.18f1-minsize-webgl1-manualBuild (5.37 MB)

Awesome, thank you!
