Dequeue WooCommerce Assets (on non-Woo pages)

What it does

• Removes WooCommerce styles (layout, smallscreen, general, block styles) and scripts (cart, single product, price slider, etc.) on pages that don’t use WooCommerce

When to enable

• Most stores benefit immediately, especially content-heavy sites where WooCommerce assets aren’t needed on posts, landing pages, or CMS content

Why it’s safe

• Assets remain loaded on WooCommerce pages (Shop, Product, Cart, Checkout, Account)
• Only non-Woo pages are trimmed

Tip

• If a custom page template uses a WooCommerce widget or shortcode, re-enqueue just what you need for that page

---

Simplify Price HTML

What it does

• Cleans up price markup by removing <bdi> wrappers, replacing currency spans with raw symbols, and stripping screen-reader helper spans

Impact

• Reduces DOM complexity for slight rendering savings
• Produces cleaner markup for crawlers and snippet generation

A11y note

• Screen-reader hints may be reduced; if your store relies on verbose accessibility hints in price output, keep this off

---

Enable Hover Prefetch

What it does

• Adds a lightweight script that prefetches target pages when a user hovers or touches a link
• Makes navigation feel instant between catalog, product, and content pages

Where it runs

• All pages except Checkout (intentionally skipped)

Benefits

• Dramatically improves perceived speed when navigating within your domain

---

Disable Order Attribution (on non-checkout pages)

What it does

• Removes WooCommerce’s order attribution tracking script everywhere except Checkout

Impact

• Reduces script execution and network requests on browsing pages
• Checkout still retains full attribution tracking as intended

When to enable

• Recommended for most stores
• Keep off only if you require detailed attribution data outside Checkout

---

Troubleshooting

• A page looks unstyled after enabling Dequeue Assets
  → That page may rely on WooCommerce styles. Re-enable the option or enqueue needed styles manually.
• Price display looks different
  → “Simplify Price HTML” removes wrappers and spans. If your theme styles target those elements, adjust CSS or leave this off.
• Prefetch seems aggressive
  → The script only prefetches on strong user intent (hover/touch). If bandwidth is a concern, disable it on specific templates.
• Missing attribution insights on non-checkout pages
  → If your analytics depends on attribution outside Checkout, leave Disable Order Attribution off. Checkout itself is unaffected.
