Slow Query Issue – PPEC Deactivation Note Query Runs on Every Request

Hi,

I’ve encountered a performance issue on my site related to the WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin. There’s an unnecessary query checking the PPEC deactivation note (ppcp-disable-ppxo-note) that runs on every page load, even on the frontend. This query is causing slow queries in my database and is creating unnecessary load on the server.

I found a related issue on GitHub: github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-paypal-payments/issues/1701

However, it hasn’t been fixed for over a year. Can you please prioritize this issue? A potential fix is to wrap the query inside an is_admin() check so it only runs on the WordPress admin pages where it’s relevant.

This would significantly reduce unnecessary overhead and improve site performance.

Thank you!
