<p>This plugin disables the WordPress emoji functionality, removing unnecessary code bloat that adds support for emojis in older browsers.</p>
<h4>What it does</h4>
<ul>
<li>Removes the emoji detection script from <code>wp_head</code> and the admin</li>
<li>Removes emoji styles from <code>wp_print_styles</code> and admin</li>
<li>Removes emoji DNS prefetching, preventing connections to <code>s.w.org</code></li>
<li>Removes the <code>wpemoji</code> TinyMCE plugin</li>
<li>Strips emoji CDN hostname from DNS prefetch hints</li>
</ul>
<h4>Performance & Privacy</h4>
<p>Emojis will still display in modern browsers that have built-in support. This plugin simply removes the extra HTTP requests and JavaScript overhead for browsers that don’t need it. Additionally, it prevents DNS prefetching to WordPress.org’s emoji CDN, improving privacy.</p>
<p>Note: Emoticons like <code>:)</code> will continue to work as expected.</p>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>PHP 7.4+</li>
<li>WordPress 5.0+</li>
</ul>
<h4>GDPR compliancy</h4>
<p>This plugin does not send any data to external servers. It disables DNS prefetching of emojis within WordPress, which should ensure improved privacy. To determine if your site is GDPR compliant, please seek legal advice. I have done my best to ensure the plugin is 100% GDPR compliant, but I am not a lawyer so cannot guarantee anything.</p>
<h4>Architecture</h4>
<p>The plugin uses:</p>
<h4>Quality</h4>
<p>All code uses <code>declare(strict_types=1)</code> and follows PSR-12. The plugin runs the following tooling:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>PHP_CodeSniffer</strong> (run via <code>composer phpcs</code>) — sniffs for PSR-12 violations</li>
<li><strong>PHP-CS-Fixer</strong> (run via <code>composer cs</code>) — dry-run style check</li>
<li><strong>PHPStan</strong> at level 6 (run via <code>composer phpstan</code>) — static analysis</li>
</ul>

remove_action( 'embed_head', 'print_emoji_detection_script' );

another remove filter to add to the too long list !

No configuration needed. No ads. Does the job.
