export const dynamic = 'force-static'

My site is static, but still stuff gets called per page in layout tsx not just once

yeah that's because layout has to render to finalize the html for every page

Because it wraps them

Why don't you try caching or putting the data into a json file

And importing from your json file into your layout

It's an axion call, i've cached it using unstable cache, but i think the api is still being called a lot of times before it gets cached

Why won't you use native fetch

And there's a built in cache if I know right

damn, i rewrote the component because it was client at first so i had to use axion, the whole point was to use fetch and i just forgot half way though, thanks for the help that should fix it.

layouts are server components by default so

Yeah switching to native fetch and using inbuilt caching should work better or you could just stick to axion and make a global flag so other components wait for the data and don't override the initial one fetching again and again
