Woocommerce Paypal and Stripe Script Question

[NEF]

Hello

Using woocommerce I see having paypal or stripe active on the main product page can cause page speed slowdown due to the excessive scripts, I'm maybe looking to disable these, BUT if I disable the plugin and leave it on checkout only, it seems the scripts still run on the main product pages still.

Is there a way to prevent this ?

You can turn it off in the payment settings, and tell it to only display on checkout and cart, not single product

Yes I have done this, but the script still runs on the product page (not showing visibly), checked using google page speed...

Do you have Googlepay & ApplePay running?

I have express payment options setup yes but only on checkout and cart. Not on the single product page.

Are you caching page content?

Yes , but I cleared all cache, etc after disabling...

How much load time are you losing to the Stripe js?

The easiest way to do this is add hooks to your theme to block the scripts from loading until the checkout page. A halfway decent developer can do this for you in an hour.

While they are doing this they can fix all the other scripts woo loads until they are needed.

They run those scripts as part of their fraud detection method.

Didn’t suggest disabling everything, just unhook until they are needed

Yep, just saying why they do it. They obviously think the script is needed on page load to detect behaviour.

Did a load of testing on this and investigated the code and many of the scripts only kick in on the actual checkout page. The rest of the time they are dormant but still load on each page.
