Reducing main bundle size with React lazy

On one of our projects we were able to reduce main bundle size from ~1080kB to ~820kB only by lazy loading one library (recharts).

in router file

import React, {Component, lazy, Suspense} from 'react'
//other imports

const StatisticsComponent = lazy(() => import('./path/to/component'))

export class Root extends Component {
  
  render(){
    return(
      <Router history={history}> 
        <Switch>
          // other routes
          <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
            <Route exact component={StatisticsComponent} path='/statistics' />
          </Suspense>
        </Switch>
      </Router > 
      )
  }
}
