Clean the page head - WordPress
In Default, WordPress print too many unnecessary data in its page head. We can simply clean up the page head by using a simple code snippet.
//Clean WordPress head
add_action('after_setup_theme','start_cleanup');
function start_cleanup() {
// Initialize the cleanup
add_action('init', 'cleanup_head');
}
// WordPress cleanup function
function cleanup_head() {
// EditURI link
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'rsd_link' );
// Category feed links
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links_extra', 3 );
// Post and comment feed links
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links', 2 );
// Windows Live Writer
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wlwmanifest_link' );
// Index link
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'index_rel_link' );
// Previous link
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'parent_post_rel_link', 10, 0 );
// Start link
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'start_post_rel_link', 10, 0 );
// Shortlink
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_shortlink_wp_head', 10, 0 );
// Links for adjacent posts
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'adjacent_posts_rel_link_wp_head', 10, 0 );
// WP version
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_generator' );
}
