Puede que ya no tenga soporte ni lo mantenga nadie, o puede que tenga problemas

## Descripción

Bloat Buster is a super simple plugin to remove unnecessary bloat from your WordPress
site. Just a toggle away and you’re set.

### Features

9 Optimization Features Available:

 * **Remove Emoticon Scripts** – Remove extra code related to emojis from WordPress
   which was added recently to suport emoticons in an older browser.
 * **Remove Full Site Editing Global Styles** – This will prevent the Full Site 
   Editing global CSS from loading because this script is enabled by default even
   if you’re not using FSE.
 * **Remove RSD Links** – RSD (Really Simple Discovery) is needed if you intend 
   to use XML-RPC client, pingback, etc. However, if you don’t need pingback or 
   remote client to manage post then you can safely get rid of this unnecessary 
   header.
 * **Remove Shortlink** – Starting from version 3, WordPress added shortlink (shorter
   link of web page address) in header code. If you’re not using shortlink for any
   functionality then you can remove them.
 * **Disable Embed** – WordPress introduced oEmbed features in 4.4 which allows 
   any site to embed WordPress post remotely. Activate this feature to prevent other
   parties from embedding your blog post and disable loading related JS file.
 * **Disable XML-RPC** – Activate this option if you don’t use WordPress API (XML-
   RPC) to publish/edit/delete a post, edit/list comments, upload file. Having XML-
   RPC enabled and not hardened properly may lead to DDoS & brute force attacks.
 * **Hide WordPress Version** – This doesn’t help in performance but more to mitigate
   information leakage vulnerability. By default, WordPress adds meta name generator
   with the version details which is visible in source code and HTTP header. To 
   remove the WP version, activate this option.
 * **Disable Heartbeat** – WordPress use heartbeat API to communicate with a browser
   to a server by frequently calling admin-ajax.php. This may slow down the overall
   page load time and increase CPU utilization if on shared hosting. If you don’t
   have a requirement to use heartbeat API, then you can activate this option.
 * **Disable Dashicons on The Front-end** – Dashicons are utilized in the admin 
   console, and if not using them to load any icons on front-end then you may want
   to disable it. By activating this option, `dashicons.min.css` will stop loading
   on front-end.

 [Bookman53](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bookman53/) 31 de agosto de 2022

I’d tried another plugin that was recommended to remove Dashicons from my website
front end, but didn’t work. I discovered Bloat Buster in the WordPress.org plugins
area and tried it. It removed Dashicons from the front end of my site immediately!
