Remove Fallback Verification Script

All of our themes contain a theme verification script which works alongside the API key and is used to ensure that themes can still be activated even if the API key fails. This is primarily useful when using hosts that apply restrictions on outbound connections.

However, some users may experience an impact on page load speed and may want to remove this script entirely.

To remove the verification script from your site please add the following action to your site using a child theme:

function thinkup_remove_verificationjs() {
    wp_deregister_script( 'thinkupverification' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'thinkup_remove_verificationjs', 9999 );
The hook should be added to the functions.php by using a child theme to ensure the hook remains in place even after a theme update.
