aGo Cleanup gives you a single screen with 13 toggles to disable WordPress features and scripts you do not need. The plugin enables a set of safe defaults on first activation, and you can fine-tune each toggle in 4 sections: HTML head cleanup, Scripts & styles, Security hardening, and Other.

Every toggle ships with a 1-line summary visible at a glance, plus an expandable “More info” block that explains how it works, why it matters, and any caveat before flipping the switch. No guesswork.

Toggles included

HTML head cleanup:

WordPress version meta tag and RSS feed version.
Windows Live Writer manifest link.
RSD link.
Shortlinks (?p=123).
RSS feed auto-discovery links (optional).

Scripts and styles:

Emoji fallback script and styles.
oEmbed discovery and embed JS.
jQuery Migrate on the frontend (optional).
Dashicons for non-logged-in visitors (optional).
Block editor global styles when you do not use Gutenberg (optional).

Security hardening:

XML-RPC (an endpoint often used for brute-force login attempts).
Public REST API for unauthenticated users (optional, blocks user enumeration).

Other:

Self-pingbacks (no more auto-comments on your own posts).

All toggles are reversible: untick the switch and changes save automatically. No external services, no remote calls, no telemetry.

External services

This plugin does not call any third-party service or external API. All operations happen locally on your WordPress installation, by adding or removing standard WordPress filters and actions.

The “Quick links” card in the admin sidebar links to public third-party tools (Google PageSpeed, GTmetrix, Sucuri SiteCheck) for the convenience of the administrator. These are plain external links, opened in a new tab. The plugin does not send any data to those services.

Privacy

aGo Cleanup does not collect or transmit any data. It stores only one option in the wp_options table under the key agocleanup_settings, containing the toggle states. No custom database tables are created. Deactivating the plugin does not delete the stored option. Uninstalling the plugin deletes it.
