Klaro library seems way too large?

Any ideas? I think this is a really major issue and a blocker. Did I make a mistake checking the file size?

BTW shouldn't Drupal use klaro-no-translations-no-css.js as all translations come from Drupal?! That's at least "only" 207 KB which is also way too much, but > 600 kb better ;)

Another interesting thing is, that klaro.js has 230 KB at GitHub. So I think we need to understand the differences and why the project page says 30kb vs. x10 in real size. Or does gzip compress it that much?

In my installation klaro-no-css.js has 208K and klaro-no-translations-no-css.js 208K also. I therefore see no urgent need for action here.

In the case that a fork is used at a later date, we can think again about minimization and the like. Slimmer would indeed be nicer.

Thanks for the check and feedback @jan kellermann! Well I think 208K is still way too much! Entire jQuery lib only has 80K and that's large already.
37K as written on the module page would be acceptable, I think.

Have a look at Drupal core's "misc" folder. The js scripts there are all much smaller! So I'd vote to keep this major?
I'll open a bug report at the repo.

We should consider switching to klaro-no-translations-no-css.js by name, right? Also makes no sense to me that they have the same size...

Here we go: https://github.com/klaro-org/klaro-js/issues/527

@jan kellermann are you in contact with the Klaro (Lib) maintainers? Maybe they should be informed about the Drupal use in general and asked to cooperate, I think it's a maximum Marketing win for them, even if the Open Source lib is used. Still they don't seem very active in git GitHub repo?

Just (re-)discovered this doing performance testing of Drupal CMS, the Klaro library is responsible for over 90% of the JavaScript (whether measuring compressed or uncompressed) served to anonymous users.

One additional thing I noticed on Drupal CMS - the configuration it uses has just a link in the footer, which then opens the cookie consent modal.

It ought to be possible to put all of the code supporting the modal in a separate library that is only loaded when that link is clicked - this would significantly reduce the impact.

@catch that's what I had in mind too. And we're about to check with the maintainers of that library, if anything with the build process went wrong. Thinking that as e.g. the no-translations files still contain translations, and the sizes of them, as well as the no-css files, don't significantly differ from the full library.

I fixed this bug in klaro-js and opened a pull request.

New file size would be 164K. I look if we can compress more with webpack.

Klaro! is build with compatibility for older browsers. According to Drupal's browser requirements → I adapted the build script for browserslist to defaults.

File Size is now 64K.

Opened Merge Request.

Plese use these files for Testing:

Please review.
