Best for

  • Reduce JavaScript bundle size from 2MB to <500KB through tree-shaking and code splitting
  • Cut Webpack build times from 5 minutes to under 30 seconds with persistent cache and parallelization
  • Implement Module Federation for micro-frontend architectures with shared dependencies
  • Set up CI-integrated bundle budgets that fail builds when size thresholds are exceeded
  • Configure long-term caching with content hashing to achieve 95%+ cache hit rates

What you'll get

  • Complete webpack.config.js with optimized splitChunks configuration, cache settings, and performance explanations
  • Step-by-step bundle optimization plan with before/after metrics and specific loader configurations
  • Module Federation setup with shared dependency strategy and build pipeline integration
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Vite, Rollup, or esbuild configuration (focuses specifically on Webpack 5)
  • ×General JavaScript performance optimization unrelated to bundling
  • ×Backend build tools or non-frontend bundling scenarios
  • ×Basic Webpack setup tutorials (assumes intermediate+ knowledge)
Expects

Existing webpack.config.js file, package.json dependencies, build performance metrics, and bundle analysis reports from webpack-bundle-analyzer or similar tools.

Returns

Optimized Webpack 5 configuration with specific settings, loader configurations, plugin optimizations, and actionable recommendations with expected performance improvements.
