Base

After using custom bundle

import Plotly from "plotly.js/lib/core";
import Scatter3d from "plotly.js/lib/scatter3d"
import Mesh3d from "plotly.js/lib/mesh3d"

import createPlotlyComponent from "react-plotly.js/factory";
Plotly.register([Scatter3d, Mesh3d]);

const CustomPlotly = createPlotlyComponent(Plotly);
export default CustomPlotly;

After splitting custom bundle

When you split the core plotly module from others

        import("plotly.js/lib/core").then(Plotly => {
            Plotly.register([Scatter3d, Mesh3d])
            this.Plot = createPlotlyComponent(Plotly)
        })

This is the result of splitting to two bundles 312.71 KB and 115.61 KB

With a 414kb bundle this is the performance

With 450kb bundle this is the performance

The best way to reduce bundle size is to use a smaller library such as
