Description

Quote from Gitter:

Could be related to:

mkdocs-material/src/partials/integrations/analytics.html

Lines 48 to 52 in 0b2e140

	/* Send page view on location change */
	if (typeof location$ !== "undefined")
	location$.subscribe(function(url) {
	ga("send", "pageview", url.pathname)
	})

But rather not, the location observable should only emit on instant load. Could you patch the partial and see whether it triggers with instant loading disabled?
Ah yeah, wait. I see 2 calls to their collect endpoint. Could be related. Could you open an issue? I can look into it tomorrow.

Expected behavior

Only one call to endpoint

Actual behavior

2 calls

Thanks for reporting! Fixed in 1864463. The location$ subject emitted the original location and location changes. This is now changed, as it will only emit changes, which is necessary for instant loading. The document$ observable continues to emit on initial load, as well as on subsequent loads.
