How to stop auto-redirects when accessing to the site URL

Question

I have a site in Sharepoint Online. When I access to the site URL:<siteurl>, some redirects happens as blow and the URL is changed to <siteurl>/SitePages/Home.aspx automatically.

<siteurl>
--> <siteurl>?sw=auth
--> <siteurl>/SitePages/Home.aspx?sw=bypass
--> <siteurl>/SitePages/Home.aspx

I am not sure if this is related but the site is set as a hub site.
I think it takes some extra time to complete the loading due to the redirects. I would like to stop the redirects.
Could someone tell me what I should do for this.

Hi @tebu
Is this site a classic site? Or have you set another page as the homepage of this site?

Per my test, in this case it will redirect to <siteurl>/SitePages/Home.aspx automatically. This is by default, so there is no ootb method to prevent this redirection.
