# [Plugin: SyntaxHighlighter Evolved] Script Loads When Not Needed

 * The plugin’s scripts usually load only when its needed, however, the script seems
   to be loading on my site’s home page ([http://techairlines.com](http://techairlines.com)),
   even though since I’m using experts, no shortcode gets executed on the front 
   page. In addition, even on the excerpts, there’s nothing that requires the Syntax
   Highlighter code.
 * Is there a way to disable SyntaxHighlighter Evolved scripts to load on the index
   page?

 * The shortcode is being executed, it’s just not being shown and there’s no way
   for my plugin to know that you’re using excerpts instead of full content.
 * Try adding this to your `footer.php` file, **before** `wp_footer()`:
 *     ```
       <?php
       if ( is_home() ) {
       	global $SyntaxHighlighter;
       	$SyntaxHighlighter->usedbrushes = array();
       }
       ?>
       ```
