What are potential consequences of including a reload in a PHP file for displaying data?

Including a reload in a PHP file for displaying data can lead to unnecessary server requests and potentially slow down the loading time of the page. To solve this issue, you can implement a conditional check to only reload the data when necessary, such as when a user triggers an action that requires updated data. 

<?php
// Check if a specific action has been triggered before reloading data
if(isset($_GET['action']) && $_GET['action'] == 'reload_data') {
    // Code to reload and display data
} else {
    // Code to display data without reloading
}
?>
