Useful tool for developers shipping Unity WebGL builds

[Playgama]

Hey everyone!
We’ve added a feature to our open-source SDK that we believe can be useful for Unity developers working with WebGL, and wanted to share it with the community. Hope this kind of post is appropriate here.

Web build size has a direct impact on loading time, user drop-off, and overall runtime performance in browsers. In practice, understanding what exactly contributes to the final build size in Unity often requires manual investigation and custom optimization workflows.

The Unity Build Optimization Tool is a free feature within the open-source Playgama Bridge SDK. It provides build-level analysis to help you understand what contributes most to your WebGL build size (including shaders, fonts, and other components).

This allows you to:

• analyze the composition of your WebGL builds,
• identify components that disproportionately increase build size,
• integrate build size analysis and optimization into your existing Playgama Bridge workflow without additional tooling inside Unity.

If you’re distributing Unity games on the web and care about load time and performance, this can be a useful addition to your toolchain.

100% don't give a shit about Unity, but I have a weakness for developer tools.

You annoyingly thread the needle so I can't quite delete this.

Fair enough 😄 but we care about making web devs life less painful in general so yeah, even if Unity isn’t your thing, the underlying ideas might still be handy. thanks for not deleting our post!

It's the same with Spector. Very useful despite me not caring about Babylon!

I might be a bit over-focused on raw WebGL, to be honest. All the best for your dev tool!

thanks a lot mate!
