It's taking too much time to deploy

[venkimithu]

Deploying very slow

• For uploading 3Mb files it's taking 25 minutes.
• Please help if any configuration is required.

Looks like you try to deploy a node project with a node_modules directory. This are usually a lot of small files which takes relatively much time. Currently there is no way to avoid this completely. But You can try to optimize the upcoming sync by setting up your .ftp-include file to sync the modules only if the packages.json changed. Since you didn't give any detail here about your configuration, so it’s just a guess. Have a look at the manual for details about this.

HI, I am not uploading node_modules directory.

.git-ftp-include
 !dist/

.git-ftp-ignore
package-lock.json
node_modules/

I've got this issue too. 5000+ files. I can do it with a git push in a few minutes. FTP is still running after 90 minutes.

I'm facing this issue too. It's taking too long to upload.

This push took 4min and 1s.
Sounds a lot for few files.

There has to be a pro way to do this! 2+hrs for my node app deploy is super bad (but the app is 55k files so it is stupid to upload sequentially) Anyone have the pro solution. Can deploys be done with zip? I am targeting Azure Web App. I bet I can deploy via zip... update: aha! Deploy a ZIP package to Azure Web App. Overall see if your host can take zip files. Zip your app before deploy.

It's not just deployment that is slow, if you have a lot of files to upload in production it's also slow because the files are uploaded one by one. Ideally, before uploading, compress into a single file to upload and then on the remote server they are uncompressed in their respective directories.

I have the same problem with xpmuser.github.io for 2 things.
