readthedocs-build-optimization

What problem does it solve?

Optimize Read the Docs builds by reducing formats and dependencies, selecting faster tooling, and lowering API documentation overhead to improve build times and resource usage.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Reduce build formats (e.g., htmlzip) and separate documentation dependencies from application dependencies.
• Prefer faster tooling (e.g., mamba) to speed up dependency resolution and reduce memory usage.
• Consider static API documentation approaches to avoid heavy imports and autodoc overhead for large projects.

Quick Start

Run the optimization steps on a slow Read the Docs build to observe measurable improvements.
