In case you were not already aware...

I've looked again today at fine tuning UIbuilder [PWA cache's](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/add-pwa-feature-to-uibuilder/97807), during which, noticed that even the minimised version of plotly.js is over 4MB in size, and by far the largest library that I am loading.

However, Plotly have also npm published ['Partial Bundles'](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/blob/master/dist/README.md#partial-bundles) which are targeted Plotly libraries, and therefore much smaller sizes and which of course load faster.

By example, I'm only displaying line charts, so I selected [plotly.js-basic-dist-min](https://www.npmjs.com/package/plotly.js-basic-dist-min) which includes; bar, pie, scatter as well as line charts, and weighs in at 1MB, which is a saving of 75% compared to plotly.min.js.
