So, if you do:
npx frontity dev --production

Enable certain webpack-specific optimizations and minify the code
Also disable hot-module reloading (HMR)
Not create source maps
Append hashes to filenames so for caching purposes
Normally, you would always use the development server in development mode, but sometimes you may want to check that everything works in production mode, or check the bundle analyzer (the files at /build/analyze) for the production bundle.
Create bundles with es5, module or both. Default target is both.
