Included Functionality

Remove Random Comment CSS

Removes injected style from comment widgets. Because, why?

Ensure Scripts all use 'defer'

All script tags on the front-end will be given the defer attribute.

Note: Make sure your scripts (and plugins) don't depend on load order. This plugin does not allow for exceptions.

Ensure Styles all use 'defer'

All style link tags on the front-end will be given the defer attribute.

Remove Emojis

Emoji script, styles, images removed.

Disable Author Pages

Because no one reads these. Technique found in the 10up Experience Plugin. Used Irresponsibly.

Extra Headers!

Everyone needs Headers. Now you have more. Adds X-Frame-Options=sameorigin to help with Click-jacking and X-UA-Compatible=IE=edge to make sure IE 11 uses its latest rendering engine for what it thinks are 'intranet' sites.

Gravity Forms Domain in Admin Notifications

I don't always use Gravity Forms, but when I do, I need to know what site it came from.

Default Image Link: None

I forget to check the "link type" on images. Always.

Remove Custom Fields Metabox

Ya have to add this when you want meta to show up in REST. But who says you have to actually display it.

Disable Trackbacks

The idea of random sites adding content to a post gives me the willies. This removes that.

Delete-key Friendly!

"But Jer," you say, "you irresponsible hack! I don't want your so-called feature! Remove it! Now! WAAAAAAAAAH!!"

To which I reply:

"You, you wonderful bag of whine, are in luck! This plugin features cutting-edge technology that will allow you, even during your publicly recorded hissy-cow, to solve this problem with the click of a single key!"

"Highlight the feature in your editor of choice and press delete!"
