Duplicate ajax requests

I’m getting lots of the same ajax requests (10 in total) for the wvg_get_default_gallery action on the product page. All for the same product ID.

This is happening when:
1. the Variation Swatches for WooCommerce Pro plugin is installed
2. “Catalog mode” is set to show an attribute, and
3. the related products are showing on the page.

It seems to be something in that plugin is triggering the same call for each related product?

I have disabled the ajax request within this plugin’s code and it looks to still be working. Is the wvg_get_default_gallery ajax request needed?
