Make sure Webpack is in production mode on release! Webpack applies a number of optimizations to your bundle, including minification with TerserWebpackPlugin if you’re using Webpack v4 or above. If not, you’ll have to install and add it manually. Other optimizations include omitting development-only code and using optimized assets.
