Code Splitting - CI/CD Glossary Definition

Code splitting breaks a bundle into multiple chunks that load on demand, so users download only the code a page actually needs instead of the whole application up front.

How it works

Dynamic import() calls become split points. The bundler emits separate chunks and a manifest the runtime uses to fetch them lazily.
