Why Laravel method call twice when using route()->redirect with parameters & code 301?

Question

Please help me, I don't know why Laravel method is called twice times when I use command this command to redirect to new page:

Route:

Route::post('/editor/create/{productCode}', 'EditorController@create')->name('create-new-design');
Route::get('/editor/{designCode}', 'EditorController@edit')->name('edit-design');

EditorController:

public function create($productCode) {
    // .. do some thing & redirect to editor page
    return redirect()->route('edit-design', ['designCode' => $newDesignCode], 301);
}

public function edit($designCode){
    // this method is called twice

    $design = Design::where('code', '=', $designCode)->first();

    // do extra options --> return editor edit view
    return view('editor.edit');
}

Flow:
User request to create new Design by call action [POST]: /editor/create/{productCode} --> Server process & create Design Record then redirect user to editor page ( --> /editor/{designCode} ).

Question:
Why function public function edit($designCode) is call twice when user is redirected to edit page (or reload this page after create new design ) ?

Notes:
This project, I'm using:

Apache server
Laravel 5.8.*

Thank you,

Are you sure the problem is not in some javascript in the view? — Amarnasan, May 14 '19 at 10:32
Why are you using that 301 code? It is only intended to use to fix old routes (like when you update your links to change to https form http https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_301) — Amarnasan, May 14 '19 at 10:35
@Amarnasan, Thank you for your answer, Here problem is I don't understand status 301 deeply — Tho Bui Ngoc, May 14 '19 at 11:12

Try like this:

return redirect()->route('edit-design', $newDesignCode);

After each HTTP request, the page needs a refresh. It's the standard procedure. If you don't want to refresh the page, you can use AJAX calls and manage events with Javascript.

try this

return redirect()->route('edit-design', ['designCode' => $newDesignCode]);

No Need To Pass the 301 again. I believe that might be the cause. Or You can share your edit method. It might contain policies/permission look ups that is causing the double execution.
