Forms loading on every page (performance issue)

Stop a form loading on every page of your store and slowing the site down.

When the app embed is on, every form's code loads on every page of your store — even pages with no form on them. For stores with many forms, this can add unnecessary weight to pages that don't need it.

🔍 Why This Happens

Turning on the app embed loads the app's script in the page <head> store-wide, so any form works anywhere without extra setup.

The tradeoff: pages with no form still load that script.

Example: A franchise site with 90 location pages, each with its own contact form. With the embed on, all 90 forms' code loads on every single page — not just the one with the matching form.

✅ Recommended solution

Turn off the app embed, and add each form manually using an app block instead. The form still works exactly the same — it just only loads on the pages where you've placed it.

📌 Note: Turning off the app embed does not remove your forms. As long as a form's app block is added to a page, that form still shows and works normally there.

Steps

1

Turn Off the App Embed

• Go to your store admin > click Online Store > Themes > Edit theme

• Click on the App embeds icon > find Powerful Contact Form Builder (or search "Form Builder")

• Toggle off > Save

Add the Form with an App Block

1. Open the store backend > go to Online stores > Edit theme > open the page's template

2. Add section > search "form builder"

3. Under the Apps tab, select Form

4. Paste the form's short code into the block

5. Save

🤔 If Your Theme Doesn't Support App Blocks

Not every theme supports app blocks. If yours doesn't, there's no other way to load a form on only one page — the app embed's store-wide script is the only option available.

Next steps

• Display a form on a specific page — scope it to one page.

• Remove form from a page — take the extra placement off.

• Contact support — if the problem is still there.
