When using the React client (or really any FE only client) the config fetch doesn't happen until you can load, parse and execute your FE bundle.
This creates a large waterfall for the reforge config, when it is basically a static API call that could be made as the app is fetching and parsing the app.
In our production app this could speed up this api call by 500+ms which would mean it would already be ready to go (as the request itself takes <100ms) so by the time we would usually request the data we could instantly be initialized with the config.
