This article is part of my "Angular Performance Week" series, where I publish a new video each day based on the performance articles on web.dev/angular. Today we're taking a look at route-level code splitting to increase the TTI of our application.

Note: this article and attached Egghead video lesson are based on the articles on web.dev/angular by Minko Gechev and Stephen Fluin. Full credit goes to them 👍

Route Level Code Splitting

TTI (Time to interactive) is an interesting metric that measures how long it takes for your app to be responsive, s.t. the user can interact. This is a good performance indicator. One way to improve TTI is to only load the minimum necessary part of our app, and then consequently "lazy load" other parts as they are needed.

In this video lesson we're going to implement route-level code splitting and lazy loading, step by step.

Bonus: Showing a loading indicator for lazy routes
