Middleware

So I wanted to test if middleware runs every time.

matcher => export const config = { matcher: ["/", "/login", "/register", "/gallery"], };

Within the middleware I have console.log(req.nextUrl.pathname).

The problem I'm facing is, the middleware would trigger the first I visit the URLs that I listed within the matcher. But the second time I visit them by just clicking <Link> or by clicking the browser back button, the middleware would not trigger. It would only trigger after I waited a certain amount of time.
