Why does my page make so many API calls?

Often a shared layout or global provider fetches data for every page, so even a simple home page loads user details, notifications, orders and admin stats it never shows, and several components request the same data separately. Fetch data in the page or component that displays it, when it is displayed, and share one request instead of repeating it.

8 requests · page ready after 780 ms

Twelve requests (eight shown) for a page that shows a headline and some products. Four fail for signed-out visitors and two repeat the same products call.

Why AI tools write this bug

It is simplest to load everything in one provider at the top of the app, so generated code often does exactly that, and each new component adds its own fetch.

Common questions

Are lots of requests always bad?
No. Requests for what the page shows are fine. Failing, duplicated or unused requests are pure waste.
