Description

Description
As per Isaac's comment, we've added an icon picker for the new consulting pages. However, this component increases the website's bundle size because it imports the entire library for React Icons Box Icons.

https://github.com/SSWConsulting/SSW.Website/issues/3316#issuecomment-2502339115

Proposed solution
We have 3 options here:

  • Choose a less expensive different icon library (i.e. one that uses CSS)
  • Implement an endpoint for incrementally fetching the icons from react icons
  • Find a way to only dynamically import the icons that we need to reduce our page bundle size (still unsure why the bundle for the Tina editor is included in the home page).

Research direction

Start by locating the icon picker and checking how the React Icons Box Icons library is imported into the website bundle. Compare the three proposed approaches and inspect why the Tina editor bundle appears on the home page; done means reducing the unnecessary bundle size with an agreed approach.
