Hi @Vishwa-Desai this is not a bug, this is because project is using SWR(stale-while-revalidate) library for data fetching and caching, so when you switch the tab and come back later, it ensures that you will get the latest and sync data for that its making an api request to fetch the fresh data when you come back...
refer this for more info : https://swr.vercel.app/docs/revalidation

Yup that's the cause of the reload. Thanks @csagar131 for checking it 👍

@Vishwa-Desai i hope you got the reason for the issue. We cannot remove the revalidation feature as it serves users with the latest data, but we can improve the UX by not showing the loader(which causes a flicker) when it revalidates the data. So i am replacing the bug tag from this issue with "Improvement" tag. it's open for anyone to work on this issue.

@rohitdasu Yes i got it, Thanks for looking into it.
