Description

I tried to use you helper splitVendor() to try to split the vendor js (590Kb) into many chunks but I did not succeed. I think the exemple should include this natively (who wants do download 590Kb of js at ones).

I would like to extract vendors: react, redux, and other big ones. I am interested in the redux-ssr branch so there is no js at all that is run on client side when you connect to the website the first time which mean having a lot of chunk and taking advantage of http2 would be a very good thing.

Can you help me with that?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to configure webpack split chunks in arc's build setup, specifically to extract react, redux, and other large libraries into separate chunks using the existing splitVendor() helper or by modifying webpack config.
