I guess, this code needs some updating as it doesnt remove everything with the latest version of WooCommerce.

IF you are using latest version of Woo, you need to add these three lines to remove ALL styles

wp_dequeue_style( 'woocommerce-general' );
            wp_dequeue_style( 'woocommerce-layout' );
            wp_dequeue_style( 'woocommerce-smallscreen' );

Or you can remove all styles at once

add_filter( 'woocommerce_enqueue_styles', '__return_empty_array' );

Here's what worked for me. Removes all styles & scripts.

if (!is_woocommerce() && !is_cart() && !is_checkout()) {
    remove_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', [WC_Frontend_Scripts::class, 'load_scripts']);
    remove_action('wp_print_scripts', [WC_Frontend_Scripts::class, 'localize_printed_scripts'], 5);
    remove_action('wp_print_footer_scripts', [WC_Frontend_Scripts::class, 'localize_printed_scripts'], 5);
}

Following worked for me to dequeue both styles and scripts. While example above by @jaswsinc didn't.

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_woocommerce_styles_scripts', 99 );

function dequeue_woocommerce_styles_scripts() {
    if ( function_exists( 'is_woocommerce' ) ) {
        if ( ! is_woocommerce() && ! is_cart() && ! is_checkout() ) {
            # Styles
            wp_dequeue_style( 'woocommerce-general' );
            wp_dequeue_style( 'woocommerce-layout' );
            wp_dequeue_style( 'woocommerce-smallscreen' );
            wp_dequeue_style( 'woocommerce_frontend_styles' );
            wp_dequeue_style( 'woocommerce_fancybox_styles' );
            wp_dequeue_style( 'woocommerce_chosen_styles' );
            wp_dequeue_style( 'woocommerce_prettyPhoto_css' );
            # Scripts
            wp_dequeue_script( 'wc_price_slider' );
            wp_dequeue_script( 'wc-single-product' );
            wp_dequeue_script( 'wc-add-to-cart' );
            wp_dequeue_script( 'wc-cart-fragments' );
            wp_dequeue_script( 'wc-checkout' );
            wp_dequeue_script( 'wc-add-to-cart-variation' );
            wp_dequeue_script( 'wc-single-product' );
            wp_dequeue_script( 'wc-cart' );
            wp_dequeue_script( 'wc-chosen' );
            wp_dequeue_script( 'woocommerce' );
            wp_dequeue_script( 'prettyPhoto' );
            wp_dequeue_script( 'prettyPhoto-init' );
            wp_dequeue_script( 'jquery-blockui' );
            wp_dequeue_script( 'jquery-placeholder' );
            wp_dequeue_script( 'fancybox' );
            wp_dequeue_script( 'jqueryui' );
        }
    }
}

Hi @DevinWalker

I apply your code, thanks for sharing, indeed, woocommerce is faster!

does your code remove the ajax function from the "add to cart" button ? Because I use a plugin (woo popup) to create an animation when we add a product to the cart, this plugin uses ajax (otherwise it does not work), my problem is that if I use your code, my plugin
" woo popup "does not work well, there is a conflict.

Do you have a solution to let ajax activate ?

Good info - any pointers on how to modify the above code so that the woocommerce geolocation functionality doesn't get called for a given page? We need this on our site's store pages, but it's extremely slow and so we'd of course like to avoid calling it on all of the non-store pages.

For clarity, I'm talking about the "geolocate with page caching support", that results in URLs with parameters like ?v=11aedd0e4327 appended.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Big props to @jaswrks, you saved me from rooting through api documentation. All scripts 100% gone, 3 lines of code.

remove_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', [WC_Frontend_Scripts::class, 'load_scripts']);
remove_action('wp_print_scripts', [WC_Frontend_Scripts::class, 'localize_printed_scripts'], 5);
remove_action('wp_print_footer_scripts', [WC_Frontend_Scripts::class, 'localize_printed_scripts'], 5);

@DevinWalker @jaswrks @Basilou38
Im wondering how y'all manage to replace all those built in WC scripts (and any plugins) with custom code tho?
Dev-Time wise seems a bit harsh.. The cart updating, the order generation from checkout, all the store notices, messages and most importantly form fields -> form submission seem to be heavily depend on those scripts.. Just wondering, any tips here r highly appreciated if there's some nice workflow or "shortcuts"

P.S: Still relevant today.
You could also do (functions.php)

add_filter('woocommerce_enqueue_styles', '__return_empty_array');

for CSS in 1 line pretty much.. it's in the Theming Docs.

Side Note:
This still seems to work for me with all latest versions of WP & WC...
Don't forget to add it inside a function, and then add_action to invoke it...

IF you are using latest version of Woo, you need to add these three lines to remove ALL styles

wp_dequeue_style( 'woocommerce-general' );
 wp_dequeue_style( 'woocommerce-layout' );
 wp_dequeue_style( 'woocommerce-smallscreen' );
function gist_rm_wc_scripts() {
   if (function_exists('is_woocommerce') {
     # wp_dequeue above here
   }
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'gist_rm_wc_scripts');

Hey guys, I have disable WooCommerce styles and scripts sitewide as I need good performance and it was killing my site performance. I have an issue now where the login form and other account forms have no styling. How can I target the account pages of members so that it displays the styling only for any user account related pages?
