paypal checkout.min.js slowing down site

Question

this is my situation with checkout.min.js loaded from the PayPal servers. It loads in 4 secs.

My site is loading in 8 secs (https://gtmetrix.com/), any ideas in how i can reduce this loading time?

Thank You

Me too, i have the same issue. Just try to download the file and save it in your module Vendor/Module/view/frontend/web/js/checkout.js then edit vendor/magento/module-paypal/view/frontend/requirejs-config.js with

...
paypalInContextExpressCheckout: 'Vendor_Module/js/checkout'
...

flush pub/static/* and check if you resolve the issue. If yes, you could refactor this fix to maintenable customisation.
