Triage meeting notes: Issue seems to be produced by previous adjustments to improve the perceived performance (help translations to show faster), to find a better balance some adjustments were done. We may want to observe the number of requests in practice to find the right balance between perceived performance (pre-fetching) and number of requests per user.
