Unnecessarily loading Gutenberg editor assets on frontend

  • This plugin is for somehow and for some reason loading the back end gutenberg editor scripts/styles on the front end, causing pretty severe pagespeed score reductions.

    Here are some stats for a page without any charts on it:

    125 requests
22.42 MB / 21.53 MB transferred
Finish: 3.16 s
DOMContentLoaded: 1.62 s
load: 2.71 s

    After disabling the plugin:

    76 requests
13.39 MB / 12.51 MB transferred
Finish: 2.31 s
DOMContentLoaded: 882 ms
load: 1.88 s

    I believe it has something to do with including backend editor assets because, for instance, it is causing a call to https://{{website}}/wp-json/wp/v2/users/me?context=edit&_locale=user on every page, which results in a 401 error.
