Images get loaded/reloaded too often

Thanks for the report! Can you please reproduce the issue in this sandbox?

I can kind of reprodce this but even better I can explain it now. The following was observed for a img tag with data-zoom-src.

When clicking a image the img tag will get duplicated as two copies in the dom tree. This may cause loading of the image depending on the browsers caching. So in case you turn off cache or your browser decided not to cache a image (anymore) due to its size or your machines RAM situation it will cause new requests.
Since the img tag copies get removed on close this may happen every time you click a image to zoom.

I am not sure if you want to address it since this issue is very dependend on browser cache handling. The only thing I can think of to mitigate is not to remove img tags from the dom but reuse them instead as much as possible.

Thank you for investigating @DEvil0000!

As you mentioned, that's a bit out of scope because very dependent on your browser's settings–so I'll close this issue 🙂
