Load JS only during checkout process

This is by design, please read: https://docs.stripe.com/js/including.

That said, perhaps this could be made configurable somehow... The challenge is this cannot really be a payment gateway configuration as we can't really determine the payment gateway to load to look for such setting.

Ah yes, Stripe wants to be loaded everywhere

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

I wonder if we could have a config setting to only load on /cart and /checkout/* pages instead of the entire site?

Alternatively, we could add the async tag on the script to improve pagespeed.

You can also load Stripe.js using the async or defer attribute on the script tag. Note, however, that with asynchronous loading any API calls will have to be made only after the script execution has finished.

Closing as a duplicate of 📌 Attach Stripe.js using the defer attribute Needs review . There is more discussion there, including a proposed (albeit failing) MR.

A setting for include paths would be cool. Keep in mind that a site would also need to add the script to any terminal pages for purposes such as manually entering a payment.
