Comment:

 Hi chris, sounds like you have something weird going on, then. The request
 is made once per week and stored in a transient in the DB. There are two
 reasons why the request may be happening every time:

  * Your user agent is changing on every request
  * Transients are not being stored persistently

 If you have a wp-content/object-cache.php file, that would point to the
 second bullet.
