Solution retrospective

It was both fun and challenging to work on this project. It pushed me as far as API consumption is concerned. However, my biggest issue with the project is the number of API calls. Currently, the app is making 4 API calls (when you first load the site, when you click on a country and when you click on a border country). How can I optimize the site to reduce the number of API calls? I think my approach is not good in the case of a large number of concurrent users.

    HELLO......congrats on completing this challenge....well done:🎊 🎊

    Based on your question , you are not the host of the API, so different users can preview your site , without affecting /slowing it down.

    Hope this comment was helpful ,have fun coding
