newbie: are my conventions for checking if a user is logged in on client and server side fine?
hi so this is my first time rolling my own auth. ive used clerk before. the db im using with better auth is mongodb as my user data is there rn.
We only need google auth (no email/password). I've gone through the installation and setup and ive got google user logins registering in my mongodb collection.
The question I have is, am I properly checking if the users logged in (client and server side)?
for the client side, i made a "client-auth-guard" component that basically checks it.
So is it fine if I use this component for the client side:

For server side checking if user is logged in, Iwould I have to use server actions? (https://www.better-auth.com/docs/integrations/next#rsc-and-server-actions)
but then how would the server side look like on a route handler? (my post, get, etc endpoints)
My middleware.ts: (follows a clerk pattern)

Just wanted to know if I am approaching the checking on client and server side properly
thanks.
(Also I feel it’s a bit slow when checking if a user is logged in or not. And when I use my middleware to redirect users if they access locked routes, it’s chunky and slow. Is it cause it’s a dev server?)
