Is there any possibility to disable the page reload in the lighthouse?

If the page redirects, Lighthouse will follow the redirect. Lighthouse loads the page in Chrome mostly normally, so it acts just like a load in the browser would.

For testing, you could consider sniffing the UA string (it ends with Chrome-Lighthouse) and not redirecting if that's present (or check for known IP addresses) or other typical ways of dealing with bots visiting a page.
