Description
Describe the bug
I noticed that at least as of version 3.17.0 of the plugin, it loads hooks.min.js and i18n.min.js on the front end of wordpress. I can't see why these js files would be necessary for it to run, and if they are, can you please explain how they weren't needed before.
To Reproduce
- Install version 3.17.0 of the plugin.
- See the files hooks.min.js and i18n.min.js load on the front end, when logged out.
Expected behavior
I assume this files are only needed when logged in in wp-admin
Environment
Plugin version 3.17.0
WP version 6.7.1
Additional context
Loading unnecessary JS slows the web page down.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with WordPress 6.7.1 and plugin version 3.17.0 while logged out, then trace where hooks.min.js and i18n.min.js are enqueued. Done means confirming whether those files are needed on the public frontend and preventing unnecessary loading there without breaking the relevant admin behavior.
