Pablo R. the clonable file size will not affect your page speed. This is just the file size - its a webflow bug that also includes historical backup snapshots in the file and obviously the file is a couple years old with many changes in it.

Pablo R. okay sure, I understand now. I would say no, in general its not going to impact your performance in a significant way. Its something that you would need to take into consideration sure, but the style guide in itself is not going to slow your site down. In addition to a fully built website, sure its adding some classes.
