Optimizing Script Loading for Your Store
By default, ReturnGO loads a script across all pages of your store to ensure full functionality, including features like Cart Widget, Credit Widget, Shop Now, and Return Guard.
If you're looking to optimize your store’s performance and you only need the return portal functionality, you can create a custom page and embed the portal directly on it. This setup ensures that the ReturnGO script loads only on the return portal page.
If you are using a custom page for the return portal and want to use features like Shop Now or Return Guard, which require the script to run on all pages, you can use ReturnGO’s app embed extension for those features.
