tbh wasm-opt is magic, saved like 40% bundle size on my last pet project just by using -Oz. also disabling backtraces and panic formatting does wonders if u dont need debugging in prod. definitely worth the extra compile time imo.

I agree with that approach. Additionally, configuring panic = 'abort' in the profile release can significantly strip out landing pads and metadata. This results in cleaner compiled code, which is essential when optimizing for low-latency WebAssembly execution on the edge.

That is very accurate. Additionally, using panic = 'abort' in your profile release can further strip down the binary size by removing clean-up stack unwinding code. Combined with wasm-opt, it yields incredibly compact files suitable for latency-sensitive environments.
