What is code splitting in Next.js?

What is code splitting in Next.js?

Code splitting in Next.js is a technique to split your code into smaller bundles, which helps in loading only the necessary code for the page being accessed.

How does it improve performance?

It improves performance by reducing the initial load time, as users only download the code needed for the current page instead of the entire application.

Can you give me an example of how to implement it?

Sure! You can use dynamic imports with the next/dynamic module to load components only when they are needed.

Are there any downsides to code splitting?

One downside is that it can lead to additional network requests, which might affect performance if not managed properly.
