+**Note:** by default, React will be in development mode, which is slower, and not advised for production. To use React in production mode, set the environment variable `NODE_ENV` to `production` (using envify or webpack's DefinePlugin). For example:
+
+```js
+new webpack.DefinePlugin({
+  "process.env": {
+    NODE_ENV: JSON.stringify("production")
+  }
+});
+```
