Long cold start time of development server

• Description: The development server for the IEEE RVCE website made using React and bundled using Webpack takes a long time to start when running the npm start command, especially on the first run of the day. This slows down the development process and makes it difficult to iterate quickly.

Steps to reproduce:

Run the command npm start to start the development server, Observe the time taken for the server to start up.

• Expected behavior: The development server should start up quickly, allowing us to iterate quickly and efficiently.
• Actual behavior: The development server takes a long time to start up, which slows down the development process.
• Possible solution: Migrate the project from Webpack to VITE.

首先运行 npm start 并测量开发服务器的启动时间，尤其是首次运行时的启动时间。检查当前的 React 和 Webpack 开发配置，然后评估迁移到 Vite 是否能解决延迟问题。当开发服务器的启动速度显著提高，同时保留现有开发工作流时，即可视为完成。
