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.
FYI: This plugin kills front-end block editor CSS for WordPress core, WooCommerce and the Storefront theme. You’re welcome.
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.
<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>
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.

Optimization of included JavaScript- and CSS-files can be a very important thing, if you want a faster site. Many WordPress plugins comes with multiple third-party and/or own JavaScript-files that are then often be included on every page of your site. In worst cases you have more than one of the same file included on your site. That slows down your site!
But also “Render blocking” can easily slow down a website. Every external JavaScript- or CSS-file, that is included in the head of your site, blocks the site from rendering, until all files are completely processed. It’s a common practice to move all these Scripts and Styles (except critical CSS) to the footer of your site, so the rendering is no longer blocked and your website loads faster.
This is where WP Script Optimizer helps you! It makes it possible to control the output of every registered JavaScript or CSS-file. You can easily create rules for it or deactivate files completely. You can also move files to the footer of your site or vice versa.
Check out the following lists for all currently avaiable and planned features. If you like this plugin, please upvote and comment. That would be really helpful.
