gulp scripts only takes 2. Same speed if i’m using watch or not. Is there a way i can debug to see what files are taking the longest? I’ve read up about asset-builder as indicated in similar posts but not quite sure how any changes here could make a difference. [15:30:21] Starting ‘styles’… [15:…

Is there a way i can debug to see what files are taking the longest? Start commenting files in main.scss until build time decreases noticeably or comment them all and then uncomment them one-by-one. Rinse, repeat :thumbsup:

thanks! Tried that. Is there an output/log option for styles? Removing this file takes 6s off but can’t see anything in there that would make it particularly heavy. body.services { .banner { background-color: $brand-primary; } .page-header { display: none; } .content-info { @…

No need to replace a library with a deprecated one. The docs state pretty clearly that css-nano parses your css for duplicates, adding an extra layer of optimization that can be removed with its own option, such as: .pipe(cssNano, { safe: true, discardDuplicates : false …

Thanks all & @Nicolo_Sacchi , - that’s about 30–40% quicker! Is there a way i can only use discardDuplicates:false just for watch or dev? Finished 'styles' after 6.32 s (discardDuplicates:false) Finished 'styles' after 9.52 s Actually - my css file is 1.4mb! When i exclude _page-service.scss its …

so it was this that was creating a hell of a lot of styles! Mostly the col-md-8 + .tax__services__pagination i imagine. .page-header__services + .tax__services__pagination, .col-md-8 + .tax__services__pagination ... ... Much better to work on now - styles at < 2secs. Thanks all!

I had this issue to with both scripts and styles… It took like 14 seconds to gulp styles with bootstrap and font awesome. So when i am developing now with gulp and sage i comment out sourcemaps and cssNano. After commenting out this, the complie time with gulp styles is around 600 ms. And for scrip…

thanks Hampus. Will consider that fort he next project. I find the source maps v useful however but can try a few things out. Looking forward to trying Sage 9 and what workflow changes that brings.

Gulp styles taking 8 to 12 seconds?
