Remove Unused Java Script

Hi @troyw2015,

Will you be updating your plugin to stop loading on all pages or at least allow users to choose if it does.

I’d suggest you create an issue with the exact steps to reproduce in the open source repository and submit it, so the plugin developers can take a look.

https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-gateway-paypal-express-checkout/issues

Or, can you provide the appropriate code and where to paste it.

You can try the code below to disable CSS and JS.

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'disable_woocommerce_loading_css_js' );

function disable_woocommerce_loading_css_js() {
	if(! is_cart() && ! is_checkout() ) { 				
		wp_dequeue_style('wc-gateway-ppec-frontend'); 

	}
}

To add the code:

1. Install the Code Snippets plugin on your site
2. You should see a menu item that’s called Snippets in your sidebar
3. Go to Snippets > Add New
4. Give your Snippet a name
5. Copy the code provided above and paste it into your snippet
6. Save and activate your snippet

I hope this helps!

Best

Hi B C. a11n,
I added that code to my Child Theme, functions.php file and it made no difference at all.
I will try github, but I tend to find everyone talks in code on there. Like I said, I’m fine to add and edit code, but I can’t create it, which I think is a prerequisite to using Github or Stackoverflow etc.

Thanks anyway.

If anyone else see’s this thread and has any ideas, it would be appreciated.

How about if you adjusted that snippet a bit, e.g.:

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'disable_woocommerce_loading_css_js', 99 );

function disable_woocommerce_loading_css_js() {
        if(! is_cart() && ! is_checkout() ) {
                wp_dequeue_style('wc-gateway-ppec-frontend');
                wp_deregister_script('paypal-checkout-sdk');
        }
}

wbrubaker.a11n,
Wow, I think that has worked. You are amazing. I’m thinking that this bit of code could fix the biggest problem Page Speed Insights is throwing at us all.
I will try to apply this other scripts like ZIP Pay and maybe recapcha.

Please may I ask, where do you find the ‘wc-gateway-ppec-frontend’and ‘paypal-checkout-sdk’?
Is this in the Plugin editor somewhere?

Thanks so much.

Hi there,

Glad to hear it! I’ll pass this on to @wbrubaker ??

While you could find those by opening up the plugin files in the Plugin Editor and searching through them, probably the easiest way would be to open up the plugin folder in a text editor like Sublime Text. That would allow you to search all files in the plugin at once, and find any places where they are enqueuing/registering styles/scripts.
