I agree 100% with this comment by Robin and their follow-up comments. At the risk of being combative, I think your initial premise is a bit flawed.
You have correctly identified that large bundle sizes are the cause of slow applications but not the root cause of why bundle sizes are so large in modern web applications. The reason behind large bundles is the frameworks we've turned to improve developer experience have worsened user experience.
Over the past 5 years, while we were all busy working with JS frameworks, the platform got really, really good. The best way to reduce bundle sizes is not to immediately reach for a framework but instead progressively enhance our applications with JS when needed.
Yes, the packages have evolved a lot, webpack mostly handle all the required things such as code-splitting, removing dead-code, lazy loading and so on.
Well, my initial premise have no intention to blame frameworks and langugaes behind the lagging of websites. In fact, I've mentioned them to give combat the blames react often get nowadays about being a bit slow on browser.
When I said:
I meant the web browser itself has vastly improved. To me, the best way to keep your bundle size small is not to immediately reach for a framework but instead start with HTML and CSS, only adding in JS when you absolutely need to. If you want an example, I wrote a post that starts as a React app for collecting data via a from and we strip away what isn't needed until we are left with HTML and CSS only.

Doesn't nextjs do code splitting by default? and it lazy loads other pages when their components come into the viewport. This I believe is the benefit of MPA, you can split code up and not have to load a huge bundle all at once.
Yes, nextjs does prefetching but bundling is taken care by webpack out of the box. Sorry but nextjs is SPA and Astro is MPA the main difference is multiple entry points in MPA then in SPA.
As I have mentioned, MPA has benefits but we still can't develop high end products and state management projects like Figma using MPA or Astro. Javascript helps us to write complex applications easily.

Eech page has its own bundle. I see what you mean about not being able to make high end state management projects with MPA or Astro.
Next is the best of both worlds. You can build a SPA which appears to the user to be MPA or you can build an MPA. Whatever the project you are building requires. One of the reasons I'm big on Next :)
Reduce Javascript usage to the minimun, try ROR Hotwite approach, basecamp Hey is build using it.
Not all meeds to be Javascript.
Will certainly look into it. Still reading a lot to make things practical.
The solution to a faster web is less JavaScript without a doubt.
In that line of thought Qwik way of doing it will be the future of web sites/apps development.

Yes, Qwik can be a game changer, Qwik follows resumability concept under the hood to make it fast.
I am reading a lot nowadays about Qwik and having conversation with the author of Qwik to understand it much better.
Game change JS framework, Qwik?
Sorry, I didn't understand it quite well. But if suggesting a way then Yes bundling is a most proper and optimised way in 2022 because it's compressed and served fast over internet. In addition, bundle itself can support lazy loading and other features to optimise it.
Yes, agree, considering your points in the discussion. We have a addon to the approach of how websites can be optimised.
I believe and reading how to go for a best approach for optimising the websites covering each and every aspects of web development.
Great article, keep the good work! Liked and followed! 🚀
Thanks for reading and I will try my best every time.
Great post. Everything is perfectly explained
Really site speed matters for search engine and for user experience also . Thank mates for sharing this over here. ~ Jozef behr
Astro with their (react, vue, svelte, tailwind) integrations is worth looking at.🤔
This is worth reading.
Keep going🚀🚀
Thanks for reading, will try me best.
Great article! Very useful information. Thank you
