Data fetching in useEffect creates cascading round-trip delays
7/10 HighFetching data in useEffect causes a waterfall effect where component renders trigger data fetches, and nested child components wait for parents before making their own requests. This creates 3+ steps before data even starts moving, resulting in users seeing loading spinners for 3-5 seconds instead of immediate content.

Fetching data in use effect creates a wasted round trip. Your component renders triggers a data fetch then rerenders with the data. When child components also fetch data, you create a butterfall where each component waits for its parent before making its own request.
