Did you know that Svelte 5 can significantly reduce your bundle size? This video demonstrates how upgrading to Svelte 5 can cut your app's footprint by up to 50% without changing any code. Using a real SvelteKit project, we walk through the upgrade process, configure Vite for optimal bundling, compare Svelte 4 and 5 bundle sizes, and use Rollup Plugin Visualizer for analysis.
