I love this plugin, its a great contact form plugin for WordPress, but there is one disadvantage of using it.

#Restrict Contact form 7 scripts and styles: Now login to your Wordpress admin dashboard go to Appearance --> Editor --> select functions.php files. Add the below-written code at the end of your functions.php file. This will load Contact from JS and CSS files only for the specific page.

Here in my case, I want to load contact form 7 only on my contact page. So first we have to find out our contact page id and use that page id in our custom function (load_contactform7_on_specific_page). Here in my case 100 is my contact page id.

function load_contactform7_on_specific_page(){
   //  Edit page IDs here
   if(! is_page(100) )    
   {		
      wp_dequeue_script('contact-form-7'); // Dequeue JS Script file.
      wp_dequeue_style('contact-form-7');  // Dequeue CSS file. 
   }
}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_contactform7_on_specific_page' );

Conclusion :  By modifying our functions.php file will able to load contact form 7 file only on contact us page. This will help us to load our web faster, where we don't want to load these files.
