There are a few ways to reduce the number of chunks when using Vite:

  1. Code-splitting: Split your code into smaller, more manageable chunks using dynamic imports or the import() function. This allows only the necessary code to be loaded when needed, reducing the overall number of chunks.
  2. Bundle optimization: Enable bundle optimization features in Vite such as treeshaking, minification, and code splitting to further reduce the number of chunks and improve performance.
  3. Grouping modules: Group related modules together using Vite's plugin system to create more efficient code splitting and reduce the number of chunks generated.
  4. Manually configure chunk splitting: Vite allows you to manually configure how chunks are split using the splitChunks option in the Vite configuration file. You can define custom rules for splitting modules to reduce the number of chunks generated.


By implementing these strategies, you can effectively reduce the number of chunks generated by Vite and improve the performance of your application.
