Optimizing GraphQL API calls and verifyRequest

[mirceapiturca]

verifyRequest is making several types of verifications. First, it will verify the store and the token expiration. The last check is done by making a test API GraphQL call.

Any API calls done via the GQL proxy, app.post("/graphql", verifyRequest(app), async (req, res), will make 2 API calls.

Could the /graphql route be optimized by skipping the test API GraphQL call? The call will be done by the graphql proxy.
Skipping the test API GraphQL for this route would improve the overall performance.

Thank you.
