Conditionally Load CF7

Description

In its default settings, Contact Form 7 loads its JavaScript and CSS stylesheet on every page. This slows page loading and taxes server and client resources. Use this plugin to control which pages the scripts load on.

NEW in v1.0.15: The plugin also prevents scripts and styles from the following plugins from loading. If you are using any other plugin that extends Contact Form 7 and loads its scripts on all pages, please open a support ticket and we will look into adding it.

  • Contact Form 7 Conditional Fields
  • Contact Form 7 Multi-Step Forms
  • Contact Form CFDB7
  • Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload — Contact Form 7

Good plugin, works as expected. Chris, it would be awesome if there is an option to unload Google reCAPTCHA v3 JS as well -- the CF7 loads it on all pages. Thank you for the plugin.
