• The practice of breaking up the code a web application depends on—its own as well as third-party dependencies—into separate bundles that can be loaded independently. This allows an application to load only the code it actually needs at a given point in time, and load other bundles on demand. Code splitting is used to improve application performance, especially on initial load. ← MDN Web Docs
