<p>If you’re anything like me or my clients, you probably can’t think of anything you care less about than the Gutenberg block editor. If you’ve had a gutful of your website performance being unnecessarily penalised and/or causing presentation conflicts because of the forced block editor styles, then this this plugin is for you.</p>
<p>FYI: This plugin kills front-end block editor CSS for WordPress core, WooCommerce and the Storefront theme. You’re welcome.</p>
<p>It goes without saying (I’ll say it anyway) that if you rely on the block editor for front-end presentation, then steer clear of this plugin.</p>
<h3>How to use</h3>
<ul>
<li>Just activate this plugin, nothing to configure.</li>
<li>Get on with the rest of your day (optional).</li>
</ul>
<h3>How it works</h3>
<p>This plugin simply runs a function to dequeue the aforementioned Gutenberg styles from the front-end of your website. It does not interact with your database.</p>
