# 🚀 CKEditor5 Optimization Plan

## Current Issues
- **Bundle Size:** 2.4MB custom build (very large)
- **Version:** CKEditor 41.3.1 (outdated - current is 44.x)
- **Performance:** All plugins loaded at once

**Bundle Size:** ~200KB (90% reduction)
**Benefits:**
- Much smaller bundle size

  onChange={handleChange}
  height={400}
  placeholder="Start typing..."
/>
```

### Option 2: Use Official CKEditor5 Build with Tree Shaking
