WordPress.org

This plugin lets you remove some of the default headers, tags and classes that WordPress inserts into your template by default. I personally find that some of them are unnecessary and just waste bandwidth.

The plugin currently lets you configure the following:

• In the head of HTML and XML documents
  • Feed links (blog and comment feeds)
  • Extra feed links (category, tag, author, search feeds)
  • Really Simple Discovery and Windows Live Manifest endpoint links (most people don't even know what these are, let alone use them)
  • Links to the index page, the first post, previous/next posts, parent post
  • Generator tag which reveals which version of WordPress you are using
  • Shortlink tag
• In HTTP response headers:
  • Shortlink header
  • Redundant Etag headers
  • X-Pingback header
• Remove HTML body classes that you do not need (there is a huge list of classes that WordPress automatically inserts into the body tag)
• Remove post classes that you do not need (e.g., type-, category-, tag-)
• Remove comment classes that you do not need (e.g., odd, even, alt, byuser, bypostauthor, depth-N)
• Remove menu item classes that you do not need (e.g., menu-item, current-menu-item, current_page_ancestor)
