Description
Core Feature Control is the all-in-one solution for site owners who want to fine-tune their WordPress installation and eliminate unnecessary “bloat.”
WordPress is incredibly flexible, but not every site needs every single feature that comes with the core software. By turning off unused functions, you can reduce server requests, close potential security holes, and simplify the user interface for yourself or your clients.
Our intuitive settings panel, located at Settings -> Disable Features, gives you full control with a simple click. From disabling auto-update emails and post revisions to removing the Admin Footer and Screen Options, you have the power to create a faster, more secure, and more efficient WordPress environment.
Key benefits of using this plugin include:
- Improved Performance: Disable features like Dashicons on the front end to reduce resource loading and speed up your site.
- Enhanced Security: Harden your site by disabling the built-in Plugin and Theme Editor, preventing unauthorized code changes.
- Streamlined Admin: Clean up the dashboard by removing distracting elements such as the “Howdy” greeting in the admin bar and the “Help” tabs.
- Total Control: Manage essential functions like WordPress updates, Privacy Tools, and the REST API from a single, centralized location.
Core Feature Control is a must-have for anyone serious about optimizing their WordPress site. It’s built with clean, efficient code and won’t weigh down your site.
