# Forms loading on every page (performance issue)
If you notice that all **Powerful Contact Form Builder** are being loaded in the page source on every page, this is expected behavior when the **app embed** is enabled in your Shopify theme.
However, for stores with many forms (for example, franchise or location-based sites), this may feel unnecessary and can impact performance.
This guide explains why this happens and how to load forms only on the pages where theyβre needed.
### π‘ Why this happens
When the **app embed** of **Powerful Contact Form Builder** is enabled:
* The app script is injected into the **``** of every page
* This script includes references to all forms created in the app
* This ensures forms work anywhere on the store without extra setup
For stores with many forms (e.g. 50β100+), this can result in:
* Larger page payloads
* Unused scripts on pages that donβt contain forms
***
### β
Recommended solution
To load forms only on specific pages, we recommend:
1. **Disable the app embed**
2. **Display forms manually using Shortcode or blocks**
This ensures:
* Forms load only where they are displayed
* No unnecessary scripts are added to other pages
***
### βοΈ Step 1: Disable the app embed
Disable the app embed to prevent scripts from loading globally.
π Follow this guide: [**How to remove/uninstall the app from a theme**](https://docs.powerfulform.com/form-setup/theme-integration#how-to-remove-uninstall-the-app-from-a-theme)
Once disabled:
* The app script will no longer load on every page
* Forms will only appear where you explicitly add them
***
### βοΈ Step 2: Add the form only where needed
After disabling the embed, display forms only on specific pages.
#### Option 1: Embed using Shortcode
Use the shortcode method to insert a form directly into a pageβs content.
π Guide: [**Embed the form using Shortcode**](https://docs.powerfulform.com/form-setup/display-a-form-on-a-specific-page#option-2-embed-the-form-using-shortcode)
**Best for:**
* Location-specific pages
* Franchise pages
* Landing pages
* Pages with unique forms
***
#### Option 2: Add the form using a block
You can also add the form using a theme block, depending on your theme setup.
This also ensures the form loads only on that page.
π Guide: [**Add form with app block**](https://docs.powerfulform.com/form-setup/add-a-form-with-app-block)
***
### π Example use case
**Franchise website with 90+ location pages**
* Each location page has its own form
* App embed enabled β all 90+ forms load on every page β
* App embed disabled + shortcode per page β only the correct form loads.
