Snippet Library
Snippets that make WordPress lighter and faster: remove emoji scripts and embeds, control the Heartbeat API, limit revisions and load scripts only where they are needed. For developers and site owners chasing better Core Web Vitals.
Adds Tools > Clean Up Drafts and Trash with counts of leftover auto-drafts, trashed posts and trashed or spam comments, and a button to remove them all permanently after confirmation.
Stores the comment totals that WordPress shows in the admin menu, toolbar and dashboard for 10 minutes, avoiding a slow counting query on every admin page view on sites with many comments.
Run on demand to permanently delete every pingback and trackback stored as a comment, which on older blogs are often thousands of spammy rows nobody reads.
Permanently removes trashed posts, pages and comments after 7 days instead of 30, keeping the database lean.
Stops the threaded comments script from loading on pages that have no open comments or where threading is turned off.
Uses the CSS content-visibility property so browsers skip laying out the comments section, footer and related posts until the visitor scrolls near them, which speeds up rendering of long pages.
Stops wp-admin from loading an avatar for every row of the comments and users screens and the dashboard, which saves dozens of requests to Gravatar, while avatars keep showing on the front of the site.
