Can you help me figure out why this page is loading so fast?

https://nextjs-typescript-react-stripe-js.vercel.app/donate-with-elements I implemented Stripe Elements into my webpage yesterday. To load it you need to first create a payment intent and receive a secret client key to load the Stripe component. When you go on this site, the component just loads instantly as if the page is static or something...? You can see the GitHub repo below. I'm only concerned about the /donate-with-elements part. I've been trying to scour the code and see what they did differently, but I can't figure out how their page loads so fast.

There is. For the PaymentElement component to render it needs a payment_intent which is fetched here:

useEffect(() => {
    fetchPostJSON('/api/payment_intents', {
      amount: Math.round(config.MAX_AMOUNT / config.AMOUNT_STEP),
    }).then((data) => {
      setPaymentIntent(data)
    })
  }, [setPaymentIntent])

useEffect(() => {
    fetchPostJSON('/api/payment_intents', {
      amount: Math.round(config.MAX_AMOUNT / config.AMOUNT_STEP),
    }).then((data) => {
      setPaymentIntent(data)
    })
  }, [setPaymentIntent])

So it's non-functional practically then, right? Yeah It loads when I run it locally Even the stripe checkout itself is not that fast
