After update CF7 adds /schema to all forms (indexable)

4 and 6.8 extra seconds of loading time sounds like a nasty bug to me.

Who’s got the solution in order to fix this? Maybe the author of the plugin?

I also reverted back to the previous version on some of my websites but sometimes the problem still exists. Google/bing remains indexing /schema. It’s a strange bug.

Myself and one other user, both experiencing the same issue, left comments here yesterday. Why have our comments been removed?

People using the CF7 plugin have a right to know about this new issue that’s come up after the last update.

6.8 seconds of CF7 schema load time (in my case) after this latest CF7 update needs to be addressed, not deleted from the comments.

User pcde is fully right.

Why moderate this thread while multiple users have this particular issue?

A discussion, where people share their fair share of common bugs, is always great!

Trying to fix this issue should be the priority for the author and team.

A status-update would be great :).

I’m considering moving all of the forms to WP Forms (100+ websites). This particular issue is affecting loading time.

Thanks for looking into this issue (not).

I’ve moved all of my 100+ clients to WP Forms.

Case closed.

they do not provide a solution, nor a way to remove those additional URLs, including also the unnecessary to add the “refill”, those who use CF7 are looking for efficiency and load times, otherwise, we would be with gravity forms or wp forms, we hope they change this, I personally am no longer taking out new projects with CF7 but with WP FORMS.

Is there any update on this schema requests issue?

Some of my sites with multiple forms are basically grinding to a halt with one schema request per form being performed? This happens on every page, even those with no shortcodes so the entire suite is effected.

Is there any solution? Can the schema requests only happen when a shortcode is present?

Is it possible to disable /schema requests and have a functional form?

These requests take 2-3 seconds, which is longer than the rest of the websites assets combined in many cases.

Seems like author doesnt care about this..

i have multiple forms on a woocommerce site, i had to downgrade to a previous version, or the hosting was blocking our ip if we opened certain pages that had like 20 forms.

seems like we need to downgrade or search for another plugin… sad…

5.4.2 version doesnt have this issue

Unfortunately nothing will be done in order to fix the above mentioned issues. The author obviously doesn’t care or listens at all. This thread was also heavily moderated.
I enjoyed the plugin for many years but it has become very buggy, can’t afford to lose loading speed.

When you downgrade to 5.5.6.1 the problems magically disappear.

Refill issue can be fixed with removing code below (from /includes/controller.php):

if ( defined( 'WP_CACHE' ) and WP_CACHE ) {
		$wpcf7['cached'] = 1;
}

Hello
So i’m finally happy to see that’s not my coding in question.
On my cloudways server, i saw the top url requests ?

/wp-json/contact-form-7/v1/contact-forms/82315/feedback/schema
15906 requests
/wp-json/contact-form-7/v1/contact-forms/114331/feedback/schema
15715 requests
/wp-json/contact-form-7/v1/contact-forms/82315/refill
15578 requests
/wp-json/contact-form-7/v1/contact-forms/114331/refill 15425 requests

using the last version of WP – Contact Form 7
Is there another solution unless downgrade ?
Thanks for your insights

Have you found a solution? Could you recommend an alternative to contact form 7 that does not slow down the site in this absurd manner? On pages where I have a form the average is 2 seconds longer….is not acceptable

Hey all,

Any resolution here?

I’m also seeing these schema items show up in my recent activity of published pages which is not helpful.

There’s unfortunately still no final solution to this problem.

The only thing you can do is downgrade to version 5.5.6.1 and the problem magically disappears. The refill issue can easily be fixed with the above mentioned solution.

When you’re using Wordfence, this ‘schema’ issue should be fixed (by updating Wordfence)!
