Eager loading

Loading related data upfront, before it's needed, trading extra initial work for fewer round-trips later.

📌 Example: Grabbing all page data in one query instead of fetching pieces as they're needed.

🛠 In practice: In ORMs, eager loading is the standard fix for the N+1 query problem — fetching related records in one join instead of one extra query per row.
