How to disable eager loading?

I'm using Gatsby v2.32.4.

I've recently migrated my website from Netlify to self hosting with Nginx. I want to know on which page a viewer currently is using nginx logs. However, the problem for me is that when a user visits my home page gatsby sends page-data/*.json request to all my pages. This makes it virtually impossible to get an accurate analytics.

Is it possible to prevent this so that a request to a page is only made when the user actually visits?

I understand this makes my website slightly slower to navigate, but I want to experiment with it.

Hello !
Basically, you could prevent the behavior of Gatsby Link Api using the basic <a> anchor tag instead of <Link> – and window.location.href= instead of navigate() … but you loose all the fluidity and preload mechanisms.

Why not use a dedicated analytics framework, like Matomo or GA ?

I do have Simple Analytics set up. I'm just trying to dabble around with things right now.
