Problem

Next.js bundle is too large, causing slow initial page load. Heavy libraries and components are included in the main bundle even when not immediately needed.

Solution

Use next/dynamic for component-level code splitting: const Heavy = dynamic(() => import('./Heavy'), { ssr: false, loading: () => <Skeleton /> }). For libraries: import inside useEffect or event handlers. Use @next/bundle-analyzer to identify large modules. Route-based splitting is automatic in App Router. For third-party scripts, use next/script with strategy='lazyOnload'.

Why

Next.js bundles all imported modules into page chunks. Static imports at the top are included regardless of first-render usage. Dynamic imports create separate chunks loaded on demand.
