Along the various advantages of using Webpack, as yet another bundler, these are the most important ones:
Code splitting: Based on the code size, it helps modularize the code chunks of code and loads these modules as and when needed. You can define the split points on your code, based on which the code chunks will be used. Thus, it helps in faster page load and performance improvement.
