WordPress loads next page (page/2) on mainpage if Plugin is activated

Hello @evalast,

Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

Can you please share the link of the website where that is happening while keeping the Rank Math plugin active?

Looking forward to helping you.

Hello @evalast

Sorry for the delayed response.

It seems to be working fine on our end. Here’s a screencast:

Can you please disable all the extensions installed and clear your browser’s history and cache? Then try in a private window and record a screencast using a free tool like Loom so we can see the issue?

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hi – you are missing the point. I wrote “my network tab on Firefox shows an additional request”. See https://imgur.com/a/J3Uk1ey

If i deactivate Rank Math the request disappears. I do not know why rank math is interfering in the frontend. THX

Hello @evalast

This is not a bug, it’s a mechanism to prefetch the URLs which your users might visit in the near future.

Firefox prefetches the links added in the <link rel="next"> tag. This will not affect the page speed, because browser prefetch the data in the idle time.

Still, if you want to remove it then you can use following filter to remove the adjacent links:

This is the article that explains how prefetching works:

Hope that helps. Thank you.
