this is a blog about cats

I try to reduce the number of frames as much as possible, and then mess with other settings: the number of colors, the dither, etc. If there’s a section of the frame that doesn’t move, I’ll cut it out of most of the layers, and that helps reduce gif size as well. 

I’m not sure I properly answered your question? I’ve found this to be a really helpful tutorial for general gif making, if that helps. :)
