Describe the Bug

While trying to integrate external scripts with next/script, I noticed that they load only once on a page or component mount. I’ve created a quick demo to describe it more visually.

Expected Behavior

I expect the status to turn green every time I visit the page using website navigation links without reloading.

Thank you for looking into this!

Quick question: Would you prefer if this was the default behavior for every <Script> added to a page, regardless of strategy, or instead have a separate prop to enable this? I think the former makes more sense, but would like to hear if you have a different opinion 😃

Yes, making the script load every time should be default as it’s expected with vanilla JS.
