What are the advantages and disadvantages of fetching data from a database on the second page rather than passing it through serialization?

When fetching data from a database on the second page rather than passing it through serialization, the advantage is that it can reduce the initial load time of the page as only necessary data is fetched when needed. However, the disadvantage is that it may result in additional database queries and potentially slower performance if there is a large amount of data to be fetched. 

// First page (serialize data and pass it to second page)
$data = serialize($data);
header("Location: second_page.php?data=$data");

// Second page (fetch data from database)
$data = unserialize($_GET['data']);
// Fetch data from database based on $data
