11 Ways to Optimize Your Website

1. webpack

   1 359 64,954 9.9 JavaScript

   A bundler for javascript and friends. Packs many modules into a few bundled assets. Code Splitting allows for loading parts of the application on demand. Through "loaders", modules can be CommonJs, AMD, ES6 modules, CSS, Images, JSON, Coffeescript, LESS, ... and your custom stuff.

   

   Webpack is one of the most popular options, with 63.6k stars on GitHub. It packs modules (JavaScript, CSS, images, and so on) into bundled assets that can be executed by the browser. For demonstration purposes, this is how you can install Webpack into your project:

   Next generation frontend tooling. It's fast!

   

   Speaking of frontend tools, Vite is definitely one that we can't afford to overlook.

As a result, it often takes an unnecessarily long time for the web bundlers to process all of them before a dev server can be started.
