NextJS prefetch bad for bandwidth?
From what I understand nextjs links prefetch pages as soon as the link is visible on the viewport. Isn't this terrible for large apps, for example my job is building headless ecommerce sites and the products page could have almost a hundred links if you include the navigation bar, footer & products. Wouldn't this be prefetching a hundred pages & very bad for bandwidth? In ecommerce the majority of consumers are mobile visitors which means they could be on limited mobile data.
I've tried to search for anything on bandwidth + prefetching on the docs but couldn't find anything. I've found some articles on how NextJS supposedly accounts for low bandwidth users but got no deeper detail how or when it does this.
