Features include: 
* Disable Author Archives (301 redirect + remove users sitemap). 
* Disable Comments site-wide (removes UI, blocks REST, hides existing). 
* Disable WP Emojis (scripts, styles, TinyMCE, email/RSS, CDN prefetch). 
* Disable XML-RPC (removes headers, blocks pingback methods). 
* Quick toggle settings in the admin panel.
