Reworked the Webpack pipeline for a large React codebase — faster builds, smaller bundles, and the page-speed foundations search engines reward.

Measured, not guessed

Bundle analysis first, then the changes that the numbers justified: code splitting along real route boundaries, tree shaking, caching strategy, and lazy loading for what genuinely was not needed on first paint.

Why this is SEO work

Page speed is a ranking input and a conversion input at the same time. Most of what gets sold as technical SEO is this: rendering strategy, payload size, and what the crawler can actually see.

Result

Build times fell about 20%; the initial bundle fell about 15%.
