nuxt: Instability problems: Nuxt.js server responds very slowly on local / dev environments

Version

v2.8.1

Reproduction link

http://jsfiddle.net

Steps to reproduce

Just run npm update, then load any pages on the site (on dev / localhost), and notice: many pages either dont load, or reload. The console is also flooded with messages. I’ve included the diff’d package-lock.json.

What is expected ?

Should not be seeing any slowness.

What is actually happening?

After an npm update, this issue came back: https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt.js/issues/3566

Nuxt.js server responds very slowly, even on local / dev environments. The console is flooded with workbox messages, and a lot of pages on my site don’t load, or reload.

Something broke because of the updated package-lock.json below.
