Slim Build

Reference: https://blog.jquery.com/2016/06/09/jquery-3-0-final-released/

Sometimes we don’t need ajax, or we prefer to use one of the many standalone libraries that focus on ajax requests. And often it is simpler to use a combination of CSS and class manipulation for all our web animations. Along with the regular version of jQuery that includes the ajax and effects modules, a “slim” version was released that excludes these modules. All in all, it excludes ajax, effects, and currently deprecated code.

The size of jQuery is very rarely a load performance concern these days, but the slim build is about 6k gzipped bytes smaller than the regular version – 23.6k vs 30k. These files are also available in the npm package and on the CDN:
