Why is tree-shaking more effective in Server Components?

Senior React
Quick Answer Server Components never ship to the client รขโ‚ฌโ€ their code, imports, and dependencies stay on the server. If a Server Component imports a 200KB library for data processing, that library doesn't affect the client bundle. Tree-shaking in bundlers eliminates unused imports; Server Components eliminate entire dependency branches from the client bundle.

Answer

RSC code never reaches the client; unused code stays on the server, making tree-shaking automatic.
