Why does the afterRead hook run multiple times for just one page load?

  Hey @Alessio 🍣 , I just tried this out and got 6 times... which seems a lot, all of them had siblingData however

  hey hey, is there a reason why it runs multiple times? Or should it only run one time.

  
  
  

  Will test it out later again - maybe it got better in a newer version of payload

  Okay I've done a bit of learning from the team - if you are reloading the page in the admin UI it is not unexpected behavior, this is because there are many other variables that can cause it to run extra times including versions, preferences, access control, doc relationships etc.

  
  
  

  If you hit the api route directly, you should see it only run once (which I found to be the case when I tested it).

  
  
  

  If you get a chance to test again let me know what you find
