Reduce JavaScript bundle size in Next.js by applying route-based code splitting, deferring non-critical code with dynamic imports, and auditing dependencies to eliminate bloat. This lowers initial payloads and improves hydration speed.

Route-based code splitting divides JavaScript payloads by page so users only download code for the current route. Use it when a multi-route React app grows large, to improve First Contentful Paint and perceived performance.

Improve LCP by lazy loading heavy React components through dynamic imports, which defers non-critical JavaScript execution until needed. This reduces the initial bundle size and speeds up page rendering.

Yes, code splitting works with existing React dependencies by auditing modules across pages and components to prune unused code. It analyzes current payloads and eliminates dependency bloat without breaking existing routes.

A Next.js bundle exceeds 1MB due to heavy dependencies and non-critical code inflating payloads. Fix it by running a bundle analysis, splitting code by route, lazy loading heavy components, and pruning unused modules.
