Reduce GIF file size in After Effects

Hello,
I'm creating an animated banner for a blog. I'm making a 15-second animated GIF on After Effects. Generally, it goes well because I only add animated text. Low weight.

This time, I've added an image to my timeline. It takes up a lot of space because I wanted to use it as a background. So it appears throughout the duration of the GIF. How can I reduce the weight of this GIF?
Below 10 frames per second, it works, but the text animation looks coarse.

I think the problem is the image appearing throughout the duration of the video because the weight of the image alone (static) is light. If you have any ideas, thank you.

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 81.0

    I think it would be better to use the video export from Photoshop to work with GIF.
    Otherwise, try going through Media Encoder.

      Thank you. Media Encoder, that's what I did, but the weight is the same. The image alone weighs less than 300k, it's the duration (15 seconds) during which it is displayed that is the problem.

    Export a sequence of images from After (for example, a png sequence). Import the sequence into Photoshop, then go through the video export to generate the gif.
