Need Help: Slow Build Times and Deployment Issues on Netlify

Support

1

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing an issue with the build time for my site afnizarnur.netlify.app on Netlify. The deploy build is taking more than 15 minutes to complete. Before this, I encountered numerous deploy failures with every attempt I made to fix them. Eventually, I added the NPM_FLAGS environment variable with the value --force, which allowed the deployment to succeed. However, the build time remains very long.

My site is built using Eleventy, and I suspect the issue might be related to the Netlify CLI. Since my site uses the Netlify CLI, I tried downgrading the version in package.json as well as the Node.js version in the Netlify settings, but these changes didn’t improve the situation. I also attempted to move the Netlify CLI to devDependencies, but that didn’t help either.

Here the link to latest Deploy Log Succeeded with NPM_FLAGS

Below is my package.json, which might provide some insights:

5:25:06 PM: build-image version: ... (focal)
...

5:25:46 PM: npm WARN deprecated gauge@3.0.2: This package is no longer supported.

5:39:55 PM: (build.command completed in 13.8s)

The time is basically all in the dependency installation.
