- Should source-maps be used in production environment? Do they provide any benefits other than debugging?
- Do they impact app load time due to the additional server round-trips? Are browsers smart enough to load
.map
assets after app is loaded and rendered? - If a browser cannot find the
.map
asset (404
error), would there be performance impact? Should I care about fixing it?
Note that fixing the last one may not be as easy as serving the .map
assets if there are complicated concat / minify build steps.
