This is the stupidest solution ever seen. What if other plugins require select2?

It's not stupid. Is helpful. U can use this code for your custom code. In example:

// Add to your theme's functions.php file. 
// De-queues Select2 styles & scripts ONLY in the Woocommerce Checkout.
// Useful to keep Boostrap form control formatting

/**
 * Remove Woocommerce Select2 only for Checkout - Woocommerce 3.2.1+
 */
function woo_dequeue_select2_only_for_checkout() {

	if ( is_checkout() ) {
	    if ( class_exists( 'woocommerce' ) ) {
	        wp_dequeue_style( 'select2' );
	        wp_deregister_style( 'select2' );

	        wp_dequeue_script( 'selectWoo');
	        wp_deregister_script('selectWoo');
	    } 
	}
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'woo_dequeue_select2_only_for_checkout', 100 );

For me this was the best solution, simple and clean.

Thanks a lot @ontiuk

In my experience Select2 is the stupidest select decorator ever seen. Anyway a decent plugin should integrate a check to see if it exists, and if not run his own, so disabling it is not a problem at all.

I've seen sites that have had select-2 enqueued 4 times. Most of my builds these days are custom and I hardly ever use any plugins apart from ACF and WooCommerce. Too much of a headache trying to unpick things...

Pretty simple, you check if they do, and make conditions to allow it load where needed, and otherwise you improve page load speed and rank by eliminating unnecessary render blocking resources. Congrats for the stupidest comment on this page.

@sean-mystyle What if other plugins require selectWoo?

wp_enqueue_script ('custom_js', plugins_url ('js/custom.js', __FILE__), array ('selectWoo'));

Instead of wondering "what if", just check if it's being used or not and know where it's safe to remove it or not. For example, this is for select boxes UI right? Well, if there's no select boxes on the page, then it's not being used and is adding bloat to the page for no reason.

Write some code that only dequeues it on pages that don't use it. For me the only pages that need this are product pages, cart, and checkout. So the code says is it one of those pages? If not, dequeue it, and it speeds up the page load time with one less render blocking resource.

For newer versions of WooCommerce, the handle that should be removed is wc-country-select :

wp_dequeue_script( 'wc-country-select');
wp_deregister_script( 'wc-country-select' );
