 When switching tabs on a plugin page in the WordPress Plugin Directory
 (Details, Reviews, Installation, Development, etc.), the content appears
 instantly but then reloads again after a short delay. This creates a
 double load effect and visible flicker.

 == Steps to Reproduce

 1. Go to any plugin page in the WordPress Plugin Directory.
 2. Click on a tab such as **Reviews**, **Installation**, or
 **Development**.
 3. Observe the loading behavior.

 == Expected Result

 The tab content should load once and display smoothly without reloading.

 == Actual Result

 The content appears immediately when the tab is clicked, but after a short
 delay it reloads again and displays the same content a second time. This
 creates a flicker or double loading effect.

 I tested this behavior in Chrome, Brave, and Firefox, and the issue occurs
 consistently across these browsers.
