How can I stop my site from reloading the favicon?

For Example, Say I am on /index.html and I click on a link going to /nav. They have the same favicon and I am using /favicon.ico but they still reload the favicon. I see some sites like undraw.co, for example, do not reload the favicon when you click a link.

Here is some of what I'm trying:

index.html/nav favicon:

 <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
 <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

Why is this not working for me? And how do I fix it?

Any help is appreciated.

I'm browsing undraw.co with Chrome and I notice an access to favicon.ico in DevTools>Network each time I click a link. – philippe_b Jun 28 '20 at 12:34
