How can I optimize loaders in Webpack for better performance?

To optimize loaders in Webpack, you can use techniques like caching, minimizing the number of loaders, and using the 'include' option to limit the files processed.

What is caching and how does it help with loaders?

Caching allows Webpack to store the results of loader processing, so it doesn't have to reprocess files that haven't changed, significantly speeding up builds.

Are there specific loaders that are more efficient than others?

Yes, some loaders are designed to be more efficient. For example, 'babel-loader' can be optimized with caching and only transpiles files that have changed.

How can I analyze the performance of my Webpack build?

You can use the Webpack Bundle Analyzer plugin to visualize the size of your output files and identify bottlenecks in your build.
