Bloat Settings

Updated this week

WordPress loads several features by default that many sites don’t use. FlyingPress allows you to disable these unnecessary scripts, styles, and background processes to reduce page size and improve performance.

What you can disable

  • Disable Block Editor CSS
    Removes styles added by the block editor and WooCommerce blocks if not used on the front end.

  • Remove Dashicons
    Prevents loading the admin icon font for non-logged-in visitors.

  • Disable Emojis
    Stops WordPress from loading emoji-related JavaScript and styles.

  • Disable jQuery Migrate
    Prevents the loading of legacy jQuery compatibility scripts, useful if your theme/plugins don’t rely on them.

  • Disable XML-RPC
    Blocks WordPress’s remote access system, which is rarely needed and often targeted by bots.

  • Disable RSS Feed
    Removes RSS and feed links from your site to prevent indexing and scraping.

  • Disable oEmbeds
    Stops WordPress from auto-embedding external content like YouTube or Twitter links.

  • Disable WP Cron
    Turns off WordPress’s built-in scheduler. Use a real cron job instead for better reliability.

  • Limit Post Revisions
    Restricts the number of post revisions WordPress stores to 3 revisions, helping keep your database clean.

  • Throttle Heartbeat API
    Reduces the frequency of WordPress’s background browser communication to once every 60 seconds, lowering server load.
