Disabling the platform script may be necessary to view website pages without GF campaigns and to swiftly verify if any aspects of the site's display are related to the personalization platform or the site's code itself.

There are two options for disabling the script: soft disabling via a URL parameter and hard disabling through blocking requests to the domain in the browser console. The first approach is recommended as it is sufficient in the majority of cases.

Soft Disabling

Add the following parameter to the website URL: ?sl_disable=true

For example:

https://www.yoursite.com/?sl_disable=true

To re-enable the script, replace the parameter value with ?sl_disable=false.

Hard Disabling

1. Open the console.

2. Open the “network” tab.

3. Refresh the page.

4. In the "filter" field, enter "core.js."

5. Right-click on the displayed request and block the domain (if scripts are loaded without a custom CDN, if using a custom CDN, block the specific URL).

6. Refresh the page.

To re-enable the script, you need to find "core.js," which will be highlighted in red (blocked), and after right-clicking, select "unblock cdn01.stellarlabs.ai / cdn01.gravityfield.ai"
