What are some optimization techniques for Webpack and Babel?

You can optimize Webpack and Babel by using techniques like code splitting, tree shaking, and caching. Would you like to know more about any specific technique?

Yes, tell me more about code splitting.

Code splitting allows you to split your code into smaller chunks, which can be loaded on demand. This improves load times and performance. You can implement it using dynamic imports or the SplitChunksPlugin.

How does tree shaking work?

Tree shaking is a technique that eliminates dead code from your final bundle. It works by analyzing your code and removing unused exports, which is particularly effective when using ES6 modules.

What about caching? How can I implement it?

Caching can be implemented using the Cache-Control header and by configuring Webpack's output filenames with content hashes. This ensures that users only download updated files when changes occur.
