Head Trimmer gives you granular control over what WordPress automatically outputs in the HEAD element of every page. Each option is independent; enable only the removals that make sense for your site.

Removing unnecessary HEAD elements reduces page weight, eliminates potential security signatures such as the WordPress version number, and keeps your generated source code clean.

All settings are opt-in. Nothing is removed until you enable it on the Admin Settings Head Trimmer screen.

Removal options include:

WordPress Version (generator meta tag)
WordPress Version from Script and Style URLs
All Other Version Signatures from Script and Style URLs
Shortlink
Shortlink from HTTP Response Headers
Canonical
Relational Links for Posts Adjacent to Current Post
RSS Feeds (removes head links and disables feed endpoints)
Really Simple Discovery Link for xmlrpc (rsd_link)
Windows Live Writer Manifest File Link (wlwmanifest_link)
oEmbed Discovery Links
REST API Link and REST API Link Header
