To remove unused code paths from a JavaScript bundle, analyze your built dist files to identify loaded but unexecuted modules, then iteratively stub or eliminate those dead-code paths and rebuild to verify size reduction.

Stubbing dependencies replaces heavy or unused modules with lightweight implementations to reduce bundle size. This streamlines the final package by eliminating dead-code paths while ensuring dependencies are safely stubbed without breaking runtime behavior.

Yes, this bundle optimization approach works with Node and pnpm environments. It analyzes built JavaScript bundles to find dead-code paths, ensuring dependencies are safely stubbed without breaking runtime behavior during package size audits.

You need to perform a bundle size audit when releasing an npm package to ensure faster load times. This process identifies unused code paths and large dependencies in your built files, allowing you to iteratively stub them for optimization.

The best way to safely eliminate dead-code in bundled JavaScript is to analyze the built dist directory, identify unexecuted code paths, and replace heavy modules with stubs iteratively. Rebuild and test after each stubbing step to verify runtime behavior.
