⚙️How to Reduce Web Application Bundle Size?

Often, when working on a project for a long time, you notice that the more functionality you add, the slower the web application becomes. Although, it would seem that there is no point in adding a table, a button, or something else that in some vacuum weighs quite a bit. As a result, you get an unacceptable initial load, which can take more than 10-30 seconds, for example. In this article, I would like to consider some methods and little tricks that will help you avoid this and make your site as fast to load and smaller in size as possible. ⚙️ Platform Dependency If you want to reduce the size of a web application, then first of all you need to start with the platform you use for the base. If we take Next.js, then these are some methods, but if these are self-written sites, then these are slightly different. Therefore, first of all, it is worth looking for how to configure the same framework or library so that they give a better result, changing just a couple of settings, for example, the same caching of responses to requests to the server, or an add-on for images - all this is sometimes already built into the config itself, all that remains is to find it. Also, you can support us by giving a star to our project on GitHub! Thank you ❤️!
