How to stop App re-render when entering links manually

So I have a React app where it has an App component. Inside this app component, I'm reaching out to the server to check the user's auth status. Now I only want to check this one time when the app is opened for the first time.
I'm also using react-router-dom for routing. Now the problem is when I enter a path manually in the address bar it renders my App component again. The same doesn't happen when I navigate with the Link component of react-router-dom. Because of this behaviour, my auth status sets to false (it is default to false in App) even when the user is logged in. Then it again reaches to the server, and then sets the auth status to true again. How can I fix this so that the app component doesn't re-render and I don't see that login screen even for a while when I'm logged in when entering paths manually?

First query the localstorage for Auth Status and if it returns fail, Query with api call and add Auth Status to localStorage and proceed further. asat!

You may suspect of what would happen if user manually update the local storage. Since if you send the auth tokens on every api. No need to worry about that.

Have a great day :)
