# 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.

### 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.
