SharePoint Online - Disable Outlook notifications across tenant

Question

Our SharePoint site is slow. After reviewing network activity on each request, we found that one of the biggest performance hits we get is from all the scripts surrounding Outlook notifications. This is not desired in our implementation, and I was curious if this could be disabled across the entire tenant. 

Is this possible? Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks!

Answer 1

Thank you for the feedback. We have web parts that affect the speed of the page. I am aware of the performance hit that the client-side web part model presents. It makes zero sense to move the procedural code of constructing a web page into the browser. Moving traditional server side operations into the browser, along with all queries and data manipulation that go along with that is a major contributor to the slow response times and the poor feedback that we get from our SharePoint users. We have to live with that.

What I struggle to contend with are the myriad of services that offer no discernible value to the end user, and was hoping that there was a way to disable these features. 

In my previous post I shared a list of the offending files directly from the debugging tool in my browser. These are the files you would see in a fiddler dump. I will send that to you.

I'm trying to find out if there is a way to prevent any of these scripts from running.

For example, in the SharePoint on-premise platform, we were able to turn off the WsaUpload.ashx call (the Customer Experience Improvement Program, which uploads our usage data 5 times on each request and adds about 1 second to each page load), but apparently we cannot disable this feature in SharePoint Online.

Thank you for your help!

Hi David,

I have sent a new private message to you, let us know if you still cannot sign in Office 365 when tracking log with fiddler.
