Disable Chimpstatic HTTP request/script for performance

@clonemykey sorry at the moment there is not a way to do this without editing core php files in the plugin. If you’re comfortable editing files yourself, you can find the file class-mailchimp-woocommerce-public.php and there is a function called enqueue_scripts.

You would simply comment out this line:

//wp_enqueue_script($this->plugin_name.'_connected_site', $site, array(), $this->version, true);

Thanks Ryan! I can easily do this. Can you please confirm this won’t effect opting-in/out of mailing lists on registration and checkout?

@clonemykey yes you’re all good to do that on your end. The only thing you’re commenting out is the Mailchimp “connected site script” which adds features from Mailchimp into your store like popup forms, analytics, marketing efforts you have configured in your Mailchimp account.

The rest of the functionality is in another file which actually lives on your server so the load speed is fast.

Side note – if you could spare a minute or two, we would really appreciate a fair review of our plugin. It helps other store owners know that this is working as expected ??

Hi there,

I do think a connection to the mail chimp server by default, when a user is just visiting my site, is a violation of European GDPR. The site which is using the plugin would need to ask the user for allowance to do that, before the request is send, which isn’t really an option for most of us. Please consider, we can’t embedd Google Fonts or Google Maps any more without doing the same. So maybe there is a chance for a “disable” button in the future?
