This article provides a patch for the known Magento Commerce performance issue caused by excessive Ajax requests.
The issue was fixed in Magento Commerce 2.3.4.
Issue
Magento might be sending redundant Ajax requests from the storefront to the server, to get the banner information and customer information. These Ajax requests have a performance impact, especially in high-load (high-volume and high-traffic) conditions. So if the Banner functionality is not used, it is recommended that you completely disable the Magento Banner module output and apply the patch to improve retrieving customer information.
