Questions users ask before choosing
Short answers for the trade-offs behind each library track.
When should I use lightweight pages?
Use this track when storage, download size, and leaner installs are part of the decision, especially on constrained devices.
How are lightweight pages ranked?
These pages reward smaller installs first, then use trust, risk, and freshness to avoid promoting tiny but weak candidates.
What is the main trade-off in lightweight pages?
