 * Hi,
 * as ReCaptcha 3 is breaking my Google Page Speed score, I’m trying to dequeue 
   both Contact Form and ReCaptcha external files from all pages but contact page.
   
   I followed the instructions of this page : [https://contactform7.com/loading-javascript-and-stylesheet-only-when-it-is-necessary/](https://contactform7.com/loading-javascript-and-stylesheet-only-when-it-is-necessary/)
 * But I doesn’t work. Files are still included in my source code :
 * > [https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=6LcSosUZAAAAAFR-VBlVWx5MFd9zrhuIgwVD5-vY&ver=3.0](https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=6LcSosUZAAAAAFR-VBlVWx5MFd9zrhuIgwVD5-vY&ver=3.0)
   > /
   > wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/modules/recaptcha/script.js?ver=5.2.2
 * I use WordPress 5.5 and Contact Form 5.2.2
    I don’t use any caching plugin.
 * Here’s my functions.php file :
 *     ```
       function wpdocs_dequeue_script() {
          add_filter( 'wpcf7_load_js', '__return_false' );
          add_filter( 'wpcf7_load_css', '__return_false' );
          wp_dequeue_script('contact-form-7');
          wp_dequeue_style('contact-form-7');
          wp_deregister_script('jquery'); // remove jquery which is manually included in footer.php
       }
       add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'wpdocs_dequeue_script', 100 );
       ```
   
 * There lines return a critical error :
 *     ```
          wpcf7_dequeue_scripts();
          wpcf7_dequeue_styles();
       ```

 * Hi,
 * thank you for your answer but it doesn’t really help me.
    I understand that it’s
   not recommended but the impact of ReCaptcha 3 on my page loading speed is really
   to heavy. I need to dequeue the scripts on all page but contact page.
 * But I don’t understand why the dequeue or filter return false methods doesn’t
   work for me.
 * Please could you help me ?
 * Thanks a lot.
    Best regards, Aurélien

 * Hi Takayuki,
 * please, many of us need really a solution. We can not accept this decrease of
   loading times.
    Please change the behavior of CF7, so that it only loads on pages
   and post, where it is integrated.
 * Thx a lot 🙂

 * The code you put above doesn’t specifically dequeue reCaptcha. Try this plugin:
