What is the difference between code splitting and lazy loading?

Code splitting is a technique to split your code into smaller chunks, while lazy loading is a way to load those chunks only when needed.

Can you give me an example of how to implement lazy loading?

Sure! In React, you can use React.lazy() to dynamically import components only when they are rendered.

How does code splitting improve performance?

It reduces the initial load time by only loading the necessary code for the initial render, improving user experience.

Are there any downsides to using these techniques?

Yes, if not implemented correctly, they can lead to increased complexity and potential loading delays.
