How can you minimize bundle size in React applications?
Code Splitting (Lazy Loading): Use React.lazy + Suspense to dynamically load components only when needed:
Detect & remove dead code with:
webpack-bundle-analyzer (visualizes bundle composition)
source-map-explorer (analyzes bundle size per file)
ESLint (import/no-unused-modules)
Optimize Third-Party Libraries:
Replace heavy libraries, Prefer lightweight alternatives
Load non-critical libraries dynamically
Optimize Images & Assets:
Compress images with tools like: sharp, svgo
Use modern formats (WebP, AVIF) instead of PNG/JPG.
Lazy-load images: <img loading='lazy' src='image.jpg' alt='...' />
Configure Webpack/Rollup for Production
Minify code: Webpack: TerserPlugin (default in production mode).
Rollup: @rollup/plugin-terser
Exclude source maps in production (devtool: false).
Use Server-Side Rendering (SSR) or Static Site Generation (SSG) vai next js
