Console Errors after update v7.0.5

Hi! The Ecwid Support team is here. According to our developers, this warning is not critical and doesn’t affect your store’s performance. However, they will still work on removing it. As soon as we have an update, we’ll email you at the address associated with your Ecwid account.

The Permissions Policy warning about unload is a Chrome 117+ console message, not an actual error. It fires when a third-party script (PayPal’s SDK in this case) attaches a listener to the deprecated unload event. Browsers still run the listener; nothing breaks. xenafromlightspeed is correct that it has zero SEO impact: Search Console renders pages headless and never sees browser console output.

For the slow store response, the warning isn’t the cause. Run the store URL through PageSpeed Insights and check LCP and Total Blocking Time. If TBT is high, that usually points to PayPal’s SDK loading on every product page even without checkout. PageSpeed flags it under “Reduce the impact of third-party code”.

The actual fix is to defer or conditionally load PayPal until the cart is opened. In Ecwid’s settings under Payment, check whether the PayPal/Venmo buttons are configured to show on product pages. If you don’t need express checkout from listings, disabling that drops the SDK from the LCP path entirely.
