The VersionConfiguration JSON payload contains a lot of duplicated and unecessary data. The weight of this request could be reduced by being a bit smarter with what is actually returned and how. For example:
Layer Source Types do not need the description included
Bounds do not need the description included
attributionHTML is probably not needed, and we could just have the renderedAttributionHTML
params in WMS layers should be minified before being added (lots of wasted white space at the moment)
Slightly more work would be needed for these, but they would produce significant reductions
Bounds within Layers are duplicated everywhere they are used. It should just be a reference
Attributions within Layer Sources are duplicated everywhere they are used. It should just be a reference
Layer Source Types within Layer Sources are duplicated everywhere they are used. It should just be a reference
Layer source descriptions could be requested only when they are needed
Info templates could be requested dynamically rather than included all at once
