Conditionally Load CF7 | seezee/conditionally-load-cf7

The only useful thing could be a list of things to disable from function cf7cl_disable_wpcf7() in file cf7-conditional-load-settings.php
Custom Error Messages for every form field
Double Opt-in for CF7 enforces that form submitters have to confirm their identity by their email account
