grunt-compare-size is a Grunt task that compares the sizes of files before and after running other Grunt tasks. It helps optimize build processes by highlighting changes in file sizes, identifying potential bloat or unintended consequences of optimization steps like minification or concatenation. This tool visually presents size differences, enabling developers to quickly analyze the impact of each build stage & helps in understanding the effect of build process changes.
The npm package grunt-compare-size saw initial development activity in 2012 with multiple releases, peaking in April. Releases trickled to a halt by 2014, with only sporadic updates afterwards. The last release was in April 2016, and there have been no releases since then, including through August 2025. The package appears to be inactive.
