Disabling Embeds - script that auto formats pasted content in the visual editor, eg videos, etc. Big issue with this script is it loads on every single page. You can still use the default embed code from YouTube, Twitter etc to included content. Remove Query Strings: If you look at the waterfall view of your page load, you will see your query strings end in something like ver=1.12.4. These are called query strings and help determine the version of the script. The problem with query strings like these is that it isn’t very efficient for caching purposes and sometimes prevents caching those assets altogether. If you are using a CDN already, you can ignore this. Disabling Gravatars is completely optional, advise, if you don't use them, disable as it gets rid of one more useless HTTP request. General Performance improvements: Added support for : disable ping/trackbacks, close comments after 28 days, force pagingation after 20 posts, Disable WooCommerce scripts and CSS on non WooCommerce Pages.
