Lightweight WordPress plugin to remove unnecessary scripts, styles, and meta tags from the frontend.

Features

  • Remove emoji support
  • Hide REST API and oEmbed discovery links
  • Block public author enumeration
  • Block public REST API user listing
  • Remove jQuery Migrate
  • Clean <head> section (remove generator, feed links, shortlinks, etc.)

Why use this?

WordPress includes many features by default that may not be needed for your project. This plugin disables or removes them in a clean and modular way. It was created partly for fun and for personal use.

Installation

Download or clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/mobbi-dev/wordpress-remove-bloatware.git

Notes

The plugin still keeps the REST API available for normal use, but it blocks public user listing endpoints and author scan requests.
