We are using `@auth0/auth0-react` in our React app.  
After login, it takes about 10 seconds for `isAuthenticated` of `useAuth0` to become `true`.  
Why is it taking so long?  
Is there anything I can do to improve this?

- **Which SDK this is regarding:**  
`@auth0/auth0-react`

- **SDK Version:**  
`^1.3.0`

- **Platform Version:**  
react: 17.0.1

```auto
import { Loading } from '@/components/feedback/Loading';
import { useAuth0 } from '@auth0/auth0-react';
import React, { useContext, useEffect } from 'react';

export const LoginRestrictedRoute = ({ children }) => {
  const { isAuthenticated, isLoading, loginWithRedirect } = useAuth0();

  useEffect(() => {
    if (!isLoading && !isAuthenticated) {
     loginWithRedirect({
        appState: {
          targetUrl: window.location.href,
        },
      });
    }
  }, [isLoading, isAuthenticated]);

  if (isLoading || !isAuthenticated) {
    return <Loading loading={isLoading} size="large" />;
  }

  return children;
};

```

Hey there!

Can you open this as a GitHub issue in our react repo so we can get that addressed directly with the SDK maintainers? Once you have a link to it please share it here so we can ping them. Thank you!
