+## Disable plugin
+
+You can skip the client-side code coverage hooks by setting the environment variable `coverage` to `false`.
+
+```shell
+cypress run --env coverage=false
+```
+
+See [Cypress environment variables](https://on.cypress.io/environment-variables) and [support.js](support.js). You can try running without code coverage in this project yourself
+
+```shell
+# run with code coverage
+npm run dev
+# disable code coverage
+npm run dev:no:coverage
+```
