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 > Autoloaded Options showing the total size of options WordPress loads on every page and the 40 largest ones, with a button to stop autoloading any option that does not need it.
Stops browsers on large screens from downloading huge image versions by leaving very wide sizes out of the responsive srcset list.
Tells WordPress to skip lazy loading for the first three images on a page, which usually improves Largest Contentful Paint.
Answers requests for missing images, CSS, JavaScript and font files with a tiny 404 instead of loading a full theme page, saving server time.
Prints the contents of a critical.css file from your active theme folder directly in the page head, so above-the-fold content is styled before the main stylesheet finishes loading.
Lets WordPress print more of the small per-block stylesheets directly in the page instead of as separate files, which saves several network requests on pages with many different blocks.
Tells WordPress's built-in speculative loading (prefetching pages on hover) to skip cart, checkout and account pages, which are personal, never cached and expensive to build, so hovering over their links no longer costs server time.
Stops the threaded comments script from loading on pages that have no open comments or where threading is turned off.
Sends an HTTP Link preload header for your theme's main stylesheet, so browsers, and CDNs that support Early Hints, start downloading the CSS before the HTML has even arrived.
Upgrades WordPress speculative loading (6.8+) from prefetch to prerender with moderate eagerness, so pages open almost instantly after a hover.
Stops the block library, classic theme and global styles stylesheets from loading on the front end. For classic themes and page builders that do not use blocks.
Stops classic (non-block) themes from loading the global styles, classic theme styles and duotone SVG filters that WordPress adds for block themes, saving inline CSS on every page.
Stops the Dashicons icon font from loading on the front end for visitors, saving a request. Logged-in users still get it for the admin bar.
Stops WordPress, plugins and themes from loading translation files on the front end (or everywhere) to save memory and time on sites whose visitors read English anyway, with a list of text domains to keep.
Prevents Elementor from requesting fonts from Google's servers, for faster pages and fewer third-party connections.
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.
