Why do Stripe files load on every page when not required?

[The Old Man]

Commerce feedback

I installed the Stripe payments option for Commerce but I'm disappointed to find IPS loads multiple Stripe files on every page throughout the community, not just where actually needed such as inside a store or checkout page? They also get flagged for having various issues on GTMetrix which reduces your performance rating. If you have multiple payment options, would they all load unnecessarily on every page? 

Please could you install a check so they only load if and when required?

Many thanks.

I noticed this EXACT same issue and was planning to ask the same question.

To best leverage Stripe’s advanced fraud functionality, include this script on every page of your site, not just the checkout page. This allows Stripe to detect anomalous behavior that may be indicative of fraud as customers browse your website.

Thanks @opentype

Was this always there, or did we just start this in 4.4

Always( aka since we use stripe.js )
