This plugin disables the WordPress emoji functionality, removing unnecessary code bloat that adds support for emojis in older browsers. What it does Removes the emoji detection script from wp_head and the admin Removes emoji styles from wp_print_styles and admin Removes emoji DNS prefetching, preventing connections to s.w.org Removes the wpemoji TinyMCE plugin Strips emoji CDN hostname from DNS prefetch hints Performance & Privacy Emojis will still display in modern browsers that have built-in support. This plugin simply removes the extra HTTP requests and JavaScript overhead for browsers that don’t need it. Additionally, it prevents DNS prefetching to WordPress.org’s emoji CDN, improving privacy. Note: Emoticons like :) will continue to work as expected. Requirements PHP 7.4+ WordPress 5.0+ GDPR compliancy This plugin does not send any data to external servers.
