    Hello,

    We are currently using your plugin on our websites. Recently, I have noticed an issue with the BetterDocs plugin. When this plugin is activated, it loads many JavaScript sources on inner pages where I haven’t used any BetterDocs widgets or elements. It loads an extra 33+ JS files from the wp-include folder.
    I see that there is an Instant Answer enabled, but it significantly affects website performance to load so many files for this feature.

    Upon checking your website ( https://betterdocs.co/ ), I observed the same issue, with an extra 33 JS files being loaded. Here is a screenshot for reference: https://tppr.me/jZC4uW

    Best Regards,
    Ashim Kumar

    Hello @iapial,

    Thank you for the update.

    I’ve noticed a reduction in the number of JS files after the update. However, there are still several JS files loading from the wp-include directory. Here’s a screenshot for reference: https://tppr.me/15HXDk

    Hello @ashimkumar ,

    Greetings.

    At this moment, the JavaScript files are being loaded, and they are crucial for the proper functioning of the plugin. An example of this is the ‘api-fetch.js’ file, which is utilized to retrieve Instant Answer Docs from the WP REST API.

    Hope you understand.
