That's pretty much size of a mobile app. But the thing with web apps is that they are downloaded every time and hence the outcry.

- speedgoose 6y agoThey aren't though. You have a cache.
- the_other 6y agoFacebook release multiple times a day (or they did), so the browser cache is irreLevant.
- speedgoose 6y agoPerhaps but thankfully not all webapps are like Facebook.
- foota 6y agoI would bet that js bundling and splitting might prevent that from being true?
- randall 6y agoThere's a bunch of ways FB mitigates this.
- pier25 6y agoIf you have code splitting many chunks will remain the same.
- victorvation 6y agoAs mentioned in the blogpost, they use code splitting and bundle hashing to actually maximize usage of browser cache.
- the_other 6y agoThanks siblings, for letting me know about FB’s use of code splitting and how it helps caching.
- mgraczyk 6y agoNot so, refresh the page to see how large the second download is (much smaller)
