I see what you’re saying.

But Bubble doesn’t load plugins the way you’re seeing unless the plugin developer built it that way. Some plugins stick their scripts in the shared header or run global code, so those will load everywhere whether you use them or not. That’s on the plugin, not Bubble. It’s one of the reasons I’m a little leery of certain plugins too.

And yeah, Bubble uses the same run.js file for every app. Algolia is included in that bundle because it’s part of Bubble’s core engine and probably still needed for older apps. It doesn’t actually do anything unless your app uses a feature that calls it. The Algolia package is tiny, so it’s not really affecting page load.

This is just the way I’ve always understood it. Maybe someone else knows more

In my opinion, it is the duty of the plugin developer to properly configure the plugin so that it does not load in the common section, which causes the library to load even when there are no plugin elements on the page.
