(i18n): Potential Site Performance Improvements

[ShaunSHamilton]

As your average dev, I spend a lot of my time with my devtools open. As your un-average dev, I read way too much minified JS, which is why I stumbled upon the freeCodeCamp sourcemap.

I notice it ships with all languages included. Perhaps this does not create as large a performance impact as I think, but once we add more languages, surely it might?

I assume linking to the file like this does not work: https://www.freecodecamp.org/app-67cba5e849cb47817635.js
So, it is just the largest .js file downloaded when on freecodecamp.org/ that is not preset-env. It is about 552kB (over network).

I could be wrong, but I don't believe sourcemaps get loaded until you open the console. If someone could confirm that's the case, I think they're worth keeping.

@ojeytonwilliams I believe you are correct.

Ah. Yes, I see... well, then ignore me 😄
Thank you, both, for pointing that out.
