Problem: Large index.js File Causes Slow Page Reload

Description

The current approach of bundling all Directus extensions into a single index.js file located at:

{directus_url}/extensions/sources/index.js

...causes significant delays when reloading the page, especially as the number of extensions grows. As this file increases in size, it impacts performance and results in slower load times.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add multiple extensions to Directus.
2. Refresh the Directus app page.
3. Observe the long loading time due to the large index.js file.

Expected Behavior

Extensions should load efficiently without negatively impacting page reload times. Possible solutions could include:

• Splitting the index.js file into smaller chunks.
• Utilizing a dynamic module loader to handle extensions on-demand.

Actual Behavior

All extensions are bundled into a single, large file, leading to slow reloads as the file size grows.
