<p>It removes cookies from the requests to static resources for modern browsers.</p>
<p>When the browser requests a static resource such as an image, a stylesheet, or a script, it sends to the server all the cookies, and it does it at every request.<br />
If your page requests 10 scripts, then it sends 10 times the cookies.<br />
As you have probably heard, a way to solve this issue is to serve the static resources from a cookies-free subdomain.<br />
The cookies-free subdomain is a possible solution, but sometimes you have no wish to create a subdomain only for the static assets and give instructions to WordPress for fetching them from the subdomain.</p>
<p>Moreover, why don’t we solve this issue directly at the root? Is the browser that sends cookies to the server, so let’s address this issue with the browser.<br />
This is exactly what Remove Cookies From Static Resources does. It instructs the browser to don’t send its cookies when it requests static resources.<br />
However, this solution will work only with the modern browsers that support the crossorigin attribute.<br />
The plugin simply adds crossorigin=”anonymous” to all the requested scripts, links, and images. Nothing else.<br />
This plugin will not work for old browsers. It will also not work for all those resources that are added with JavaScript, or CSS.</p>
<p>This plugin has no settings. No additional HTTP requests, no additional database queries. It consumes practically zero.</p>
<p>You should see an improvement in performance if yor website requests many static resources sending big data through the cookies.<br />
In all other cases you don’t need this plugin, as you would not need to serve static resources from a cookies-free domain.<br />
Removing cookies from static resources is not always the performance saver that some people think. This is totally not true in many cases.<br />
In most cases the cookies aren’t the cause of bad peformance, but the resources itselves. In those cases, it would be more effective totally removing the resources that you don’t need everywhere with <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/freesoul-deactivate-plugins/" rel="ugc">Freesoul Deactivate Plugins</a>.</p>
<p>Of course, removing cookies from static resources improves also the privacy of your visitors.</p>
<p>As a side note, removing cookies form static resources with this plugin will have no impact on the score given by some speed meters.<br />
The speed meters only check if the static resources are requested to free-cookies domains, but they don’t check the crossorigin paramenter.</p>

<ul>
<li>Install Remove Cookies From Static Resources</li>
<li>Done!</li>
</ul>
<h3>How to understand if I really need to remove cookies from static resources</h3>
<ul>
<li>Go to your website</li>
<li>Right-click => Ispect => Console => write document.cookie.length and press enter</li>
<li>If you see a number higher than 5000 you probably need this plugin to save bandwidth due to big data transfers through the cookies. For lower numbers you will probably not need this plugin.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Does removing cookies from static resources always improve the performance?</h3>
<p>Absolutely not! It improves the performance only if yor website requests many HTTP requests due to static resources and it writes many data to the browser through the cookies.</p>
<h3>Limits</h3>
<ul>
<li>This plugin doesn’t work for old browsers that don’t support the crossorigin attribute</li>
<li>This plugin doesn’t work for all those resources that are added with JavaScript or CSS, and probably it will never work in those cases, neither with future versions of the plugin.</li>

<p>DietPress puts your WordPress on a diet and speeds it up. It pairs a complete set of performance optimizations (the ones that used to ship in “Zero Config Performance Optimization”) with a clean, risk-based interface to disable the WordPress features you do not use. Everything is configurable, and the performance optimizations are already on by default, so you can simply activate and enjoy a faster site, or fine-tune every detail.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Coming from “Zero Config Performance Optimization”?</strong> This is the same plugin, now called DietPress and fully configurable. All your previous optimizations stay active by default; you just gained a settings page and a whole new set of WordPress-diet options.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>By default WordPress loads functions, services and scripts that most sites do not need. They slow down loading times and consume hosting resources. DietPress lets you trim that fat and apply battle-tested performance tweaks, with a clear description of what each option does and what might break, organized by risk level so you always know what is safe.</p>
<h3>TWO THINGS IN ONE PLUGIN</h3>
<p><strong>1. Performance optimizations (on by default)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Automatic Critical CSS inlined in the head (optional experimental deferral of non-critical CSS)</li>
<li>JavaScript defer parsing with smart dependency handling</li>
<li>Image loading attributes safety net: lazy loading, decoding=async and fetchpriority for images that bypass core</li>
<li>Automatic image dimensions for better CLS scores (including picture elements)</li>
<li>Resource hints: preconnect and DNS prefetch for common third-party origins</li>
<li>Theme stylesheet, critical fonts and logo preloading for a faster LCP</li>
<li>Google Fonts display=swap</li>
<li>RSS feed optimization (cache headers and item limit)</li>
<li>Server rules in .htaccess: browser caching, GZIP and Brotli compression, immutable cache headers, CORS for fonts and keep-alive (master switch plus per-feature toggles)</li>
<li>Database maintenance: daily expired-transient cleanup and safe query optimizations</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>2. Put WordPress on a diet (risk-based, opt-in)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Light</strong> (safe for any site): emojis, RSD/WLW tags, shortlinks, self-pingbacks, comment pagination, admin email check, and more</li>
<li><strong>Moderate</strong> (evaluate first): oEmbed, jQuery Migrate, Dashicons on the frontend, Global Styles and Duotone, remote block patterns, avatars and Gravatar, comment threading, and more</li>
<li><strong>Strict</strong> (site-specific): granular RSS feed control, Heartbeat API mode, post revisions and autosave, disable comments, XML sitemap, native lazy loading/fetchpriority, content types, and more</li>
<li><strong>Widgets</strong>: dashboard widgets (including third-party ones from Yoast, WooCommerce, Elementor, Jetpack, Wordfence, Rank Math, Gravity Forms), classic sidebar widgets, block-editor widgets and the Customizer</li>
</ul>
<h3>SCALE, PROFILES AND ANALYZER</h3>
<ul>
<li>Savings indicator: HTTP requests removed, CSS/JS saved and active optimizations at a glance</li>
<li>Quick profiles: Personal Blog, WooCommerce Store, Landing Page and Maximum Cleanup</li>
<li>Site analyzer: personalized recommendations based on your active plugins and content</li>
<li>Import and export your whole configuration as a JSON file</li>
</ul>
<h3>COMPATIBILITY AND EXTENSIBILITY</h3>
<p>The plugin includes filters for developers:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>dietpress_critical_css</code> – Customize the inline critical CSS</li>
<li><code>dietpress_critical_css_handles</code> – Define which CSS handles are critical</li>
<li><code>dietpress_skip_defer_script_handles</code> – Opt scripts out of the JavaScript defer</li>
<li><code>dietpress_skip_defer_style_handles</code> – Opt stylesheets out of the CSS deferral</li>
<li><code>dietpress_preconnect_hints</code> – Customize preconnect origins</li>
<li><code>dietpress_dns_prefetch_domains</code> – Customize DNS prefetch domains</li>
<li><code>dietpress_critical_fonts</code> – Define critical fonts to preload</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Compatible with:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Well-coded themes and page builders (Divi, Elementor, Beaver Builder, Gutenberg)</li>
<li>Cache plugins (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, etc.)</li>
<li>Security plugins (DietPress focuses on performance and deliberately leaves security to them; we recommend our free Vigilant)</li>
<li>CDNs (Cloudflare, StackPath, KeyCDN, etc.) thanks to CORS and Vary headers</li>
<li>WordPress Multisite</li>
</ul>
<h3>HOW TO VERIFY THE OPTIMIZATIONS</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cache rules:</strong> check your <code>.htaccess</code> for a block marked <code># BEGIN DietPress</code> with <code>immutable</code> Cache-Control headers</li>
<li><strong>Logo preload:</strong> view page source and look for <code><link rel="preload" ... fetchpriority="high"></code> pointing to your logo</li>
<li><strong>Critical CSS:</strong> view source and look for <code><style id="core-diet-critical-css"></code> in the head</li>
<li><strong>Compression:</strong> test at <a href="https://www.giftofspeed.com/gzip-test/" rel="nofollow ugc">giftofspeed.com/gzip-test</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Always measure with tools like Google PageSpeed, GTMetrix or WebPageTest, and run each test at least twice to account for caching.</p>
