Disabling WP Embeds and WP Emojis are one of a lot of WordPress performance optimizations and tweaks you can do to improve your website loading time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Firstly, let’s take a look at what is WP Embeds then WP Emojis<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is responsible for converting links into embed frames like embed videos, images, tweets, audio, and other content into your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wp-embed.min.js does not relate to embedding oEmbed content from other providers: Vimeo, YouTube, etc. You can remove wp-embed.min.js and those embeds will continue to function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wp-embed.min.js hides the blockquote and reveals the iframe. if removing the wp-embed.min.js script from your website using the below method then reload your page and you’ll notice that the blockquote is visible but the iframe is hidden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this article, we will disable wp-embed.min.js and wp-emoji-release.min.js with the code method, if you are not familiar with codes check with a developer first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We recommend doing it if you have a child theme. Emoji are the ideograms and smileys that are used in electronic messages and Web pages. It is unnecessary at all and adds additional load time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n at child theme > functions.php > add a code<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
