Add ^ Put the VRCFury script/component on the base/root of your avatar
Then click the + and add: Blendshape Optimizer, Direct Tree Optimizer, Bounding Box Fix, Anchor Override.
That'll get download size/VRAM usage down a little by baking any blendshapes that aren't used in animations
Optimize toggles a bit
Make it so things don't vanish as easily
(Like rings, shoes, hair if you know what I mean)
And make it so lighting is more consistent

It's slightly outdated as the tool has updated and made it even easier but ye
lowering texture resolution is a very easy way to lower download size
and depending on what was high res the avatar'll look no different than originally
_A lot of the time I see avatars have 4K textures when it looks perfectly fine at 2K_
_or like I'll see gradients and normal/roughness/ao maps that are wildly high res for no reason_
