WordPress loads an embed script (wp-embed.min.js) on every page to support embedding WordPress content on other sites. If you don’t use this feature, you can disable it to reduce page weight.
Steps
- Open your WordPress theme
functions.phpfile. - Add the code below at the end of the file.
- Save the file.
- Clear your cache and refresh your site.
Done — WordPress will stop loading the embed scrip
Note: If you embed WordPress posts on external websites or rely on embedding features, do not use this snippet.
function disable_wp_embeds() {
wp_deregister_script('wp-embed');
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'disable_wp_embeds');
