Multiplying calls to _api/site?$select=IsHubSite,HubSiteId,Id

Version used
Ex: 4.13.1.0

Describe the bug
The more verticals and more results on the page the webparts multiplies the number of calls to _api/site?$select=IsHubSite,HubSiteId,Id

This is resulting in very long search times for highly customized pages.

To Reproduce
1 Search Box & 1 Results = 1 call

1 Search Box, 1 Search Vertical [All] & 1 Results [Configured to all Vertical] = 4 calls

1 Search Box, 7 Search Verticals & 7 Results [1 per vertical] = 37 calls

I've tried default webparts with no special queries and its the same the number of calls seems to multiply but the number of items.

switch vertical - it makes 16 more requests

Expected behavior
when the webpart is loaded grab this value ahead of time or cache it.

@patrikhellgren just a guess without any proof: Could this be a side effect of the audience targeting in the verticals?

@kasperbolarsen After checking the code it doesn't seem to have anything to do with that. I can reproduce the issue but not all the time so I will have a look at what could be causing this and post back here.
