Plugin and Third-Party Customization Difficulty

6/10 Medium

SPAs make it harder for third-parties to extend functionality through plugins/add-ons. Since assets are bundled, developers cannot easily load additional JS files at runtime. Client-side builds shift responsibility to users unfamiliar with tooling.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with SPA for developers in 2025?”4/9/2026
