How can you optimize fetch requests in a React application?

Optimizing fetch requests can greatly enhance performance:

• Debouncing: Combine multiple fetch calls into one when a user types in search fields.
• Caching: Use libraries like SWR or React Query to cache data and reduce the number of network requests.
• Batching: Group multiple requests together when possible to minimize overhead.
• Error Handling: Implement robust error handling to enhance user experience during failures.
