<p><strong>Head Trimmer</strong> gives you granular control over what WordPress automatically outputs in the HEAD element of every page. Each option is independent; enable only the removals that make sense for your site.</p>
<p>Removing unnecessary HEAD elements reduces page weight, eliminates potential security signatures such as the WordPress version number, and keeps your generated source code clean.</p>
<p>All settings are opt-in. Nothing is removed until you enable it on the Admin <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Head Trimmer screen.</p>
