What is “simple payments” module and how do I disable it?

I would like to know the answer to this as well. I checked the speed of my website and the analysis notified me that my entire site is slow because it first has to load this simple payments file. I don’t have any ecommerce on my site. I’d like to disable this, but can’t figure out where.

I could completely disable jetpack, I guess.

I have the same question. Google PageSpeed says it is contributing to slowing down my site.

Step 1: Use ftp client(i.e., filezilla) to navigate to the folder.
wp-content -> plugins -> jetpack -> modules -> simple-payments

Step 2: Download the folder in local disk

Step 3: Delete the folder

Step 4: Refresh and Run page speed insights to check speed.

I have tried this on my website and it worked fine!Print N Gift – Hyderabad

Same here. I also noticed the simple-payments.css file in my header.

Couldn’t find any options in the Jetpack settings.

Same question, I have no idea what it is, why it gets loaded and why we can not switch it off. Funny, the better Jetpack thinks they are becoming, the more annoyed I get with Jetpack. Why fix something that is not broken, oh wait… because the business model is leading the way. To where I wonder, people looking for other options maybe?

The simple fact that just removing the module has no adverse side effects, suggests it shouldn’t be there in the first place. Bloatware.

There is this on their GitHub repo. Guess they plan to make it a module you can enable/disable in due course. Pity we have to be stuck with bloatware in the meantime.

All,

Our developers are working on making that CSS file load on-demand. In the meantime, you can use this code snippet to stop it from loading:

The downside to doing so is that you’ll need to remember to remove that code in the future. Considering the CSS file is fairly small in the first place, my personal suggestion would be to just leave it be for now, but that’s up to each individual person I suppose. ??

Into your function file ;

add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'my_deregister_styles', 100 );
function my_deregister_styles() {
   wp_dequeue_style('simple-payments'); 
}

This is working until they going to fix or next upgrade, etc.

“Our developers are working on making that CSS file load on-demand.”

And why isn’t that the default way of programming in the Jetpack team, I wonder… So we can fix it ourselves? Geee-wiz, how nice.

Hello,

This is how you can disable JetPack Simple Payments CSS

1. Install and activate a plugin called Real-Time Find and Replace
2. Go to Tools > its UI
3. In find field, add
<link rel="stylesheet" id="simple-payments-css" href="https://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules/simple-payments/simple-payments.css?ver=4.8.1" type="text/css" media="all"/>
4. In replace, fill <!-- JetPack simple payment css removed -->
5. Update settings

Done. Check source code again.

Thanks & Regards,
Gulshan
