Features

The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.

  • Slow down the Heartbeat API to save on admin-ajax usage
  • Disable cart fragments, a resource-intensive WooCommerce script (TrimPress automatically detects WooCommerce and only shows this option if it is active)
  • Remove unnecessary clutter from the WordPress section, like RSS, RSD, WLW manifest and adjacent post links
  • Disable the built-in WordPress code editors that allow users to modify plugin and theme code
  • Limit post revisions, which can cause unnecessary database bloat
  • Disable automatic emoji rendering, which adds several extra scripts and styles to your site
  • Disable the XML-RPC interface, an older system for remote WordPress access that can be exploited by hackers
  • Remove the meta generator tag and version url parameters that let potential attackers know what WordPress version you’re using
  • Disable comment autolinking, a feature often exploited by spammers
