What are the benefits of code splitting in React?

Code splitting in React allows you to split your code into smaller chunks, which can be loaded on demand. This improves load times and performance.

How does it improve performance?

By loading only the necessary code for the initial render, users experience faster load times, especially on slower networks.

Can you give an example of how to implement code splitting?

Sure! You can use React.lazy and Suspense to dynamically import components. For example:

const LazyComponent = React.lazy(() => import('./LazyComponent'));

<Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
  <LazyComponent />
</Suspense>

Are there any downsides to code splitting?

One downside is the potential for increased complexity in your codebase and the need to manage multiple bundles.
