| Option | What it removes |
|---|---|
| Emoji script | The script WordPress adds for old browsers without emoji support. |
| Embeds script (oEmbed) | The script for embedding other WordPress posts. YouTube and other embeds keep working. |
| Dashicons for visitors | The admin icon font, for visitors who are not logged in. |
| XML-RPC | An old remote publishing interface, often used by bots. |
| Page head clutter | Extra tags in the page head that most sites never use. |
| Self pingbacks | Pingbacks your site sends to itself. |
| Version numbers on your files | The ?ver= part of file addresses. May break: visitors can keep an old file after you update a theme or plugin. |
