Slow page load in develop mode

[tjoskar]

Hi,

I'm working on a middle-size app where we today are using webpack but are interesting in using vite instead.

I have however some issues with the load time for development builds. It currently takes about 100 ms to load our application with webpack but with vite it takes about 5 sec.

I understand that the main issue is that we don't take advantage of code-splitting so under development we are downloading 150 javascript files and that takes time. However, 50 of these files are coming from node_modules, files that will never change.

Now to my question: Is it possible to bundle all files that come from node_modes into one file, instead of bundle each package into its own file?

Thanks for a great build tool!
