 * Hi,
    Looking to improve our security and therefore 2FA is top of the list at 
   this point. We are very serious about our website performance for our customers.
   So I always make sure that whatever plugin we use it has no impact on our shoppers.
 * I’m looking to activate 2FA (for now) only for our administrators. Does this 
   plugin have any impact on the following user scenario:
    – user shopping – loading
   the product page – user checkout – loading checkout page and paying (either with
   or without creating an account)
 * I’m guessing my main question is, is there javascript/CSS/other being loaded 
   on the front-end? A lot of plugins just throw their libraries on every page load,
   leading to less performance.

 * Hello [@saens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saens/)
 * Thanks for your question.
 * We also like to keep things as light as possible, so with that in mind WP 2FA
   will have no impact here. Any front-end files are only enqueue’d as part of the
   shortcode, meaning they will only be loaded on pages where the shortcode is present.
 * I hope this helps!
 * Kind regards, Daniel @ WP White Security

 * Hi,
    Thanks for both your input. It’s appreciated. I’m still in testing. But 
   it’s looking good so far. Can mark this as resolved.
