title: Why apps built with Angular2 are so heavy?
body: <p>Recently we planned to revamp our existing web-app which is built in <code>JMVC</code>. And we decided to go with Angular-2.</p>
  
  <p>And to test what will be the load size, I did the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ng new test123
  cd test123
  ng build -prod
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And deployed <code>dist</code> folder content on apache and it showed <code>1.0MB transferred</code>. </p>
  
  <p>My entire JMVC application, with all the business logic is hardly 1.2MB when loaded in browser.</p>
  
  <p>What can I do to decrease the size of Angular-2 app after deployment?</p>
