Check the plugin size

[fredck]

I've just made two builds in the online builder, one with A11y Checker and another without it. The following is the size of ckeditor.js in both cases:

• Without A11y Checker: 518 KB
• With A11y Checker: 701 KB (+193 KB)

In theory, QUAIL and tests should be loaded on demand when clicking on the A11y Checker button. Therefore, almost 200 KB on the plugin size seems to be a bit too excessive. It should be checked what is ending up in the plugin file and if the loading on demand mechanism is working properly.

Yea, I can see Quail is inlined. Without Quail built plugin.js is 43KB compared to 175KB when Quail is added.

As https://www.drupal.org/node/2731373#comment-11243745 explains, we'd love to include the a11ychecker plugin, but we'd need quail to be loaded separately.

So, when you implement this on-demand loading, can you please also make it possible to let the site specify the location of the quail library? Otherwise sites that have other uses for quail will need to ship it twice: once as part of a11ychecker, once independently.

Yes, it makes a perfect sense. We were thinking about this at the beginning, but for some reason this has slipped out. I've extracted this request to #204.

Looking forward to this! So good to be able to bring accessibility right to the content editors. Big step towards ATAG 2.0 compliance too.
