How to Fix Large Bundle Size in AI-Built Apps
Your production JavaScript bundle is bloated, causing slow page loads and poor Core Web Vitals. AI code generators often import entire libraries instead of tree-shakeable subpaths.
Error messages you might see
Warning: Large bundle size detected. Consider using dynamic imports.Error: JavaScript heap out of memory during buildWhy this happens in AI-generated code
Barrel file imports
Importing from package index files pulls in the entire library instead of individual modules.
Missing code splitting
AI-generated code rarely adds dynamic imports or lazy loading, shipping everything in one chunk.
Unoptimized dependencies
Heavy libraries like moment.js or lodash are imported wholesale when lighter alternatives exist.
How to fix it
Use subpath imports
Replace `import { debounce } from 'lodash'` with `import debounce from 'lodash/debounce'` to enable tree shaking.
Add dynamic imports
Use `next/dynamic` or `React.lazy()` to code-split heavy components that aren't needed on initial render.

Frequently asked questions
How do I analyze my bundle size?
Use `@next/bundle-analyzer` or `source-map-explorer` to visualize what's contributing to your bundle.
What is a good bundle size target?
Aim for under 200KB of compressed JavaScript on initial load. Anything above 500KB will noticeably hurt performance.
