Cool but not optimal

Added plugins slow your site down and Google penalizes you for that.

In your theme’s function file (Appearance > Editor > Functions.php), add the following code before the closing PHP tag (%>) at the bottom of the file:

function _remove_script_version( $src ){
$parts = explode( ‘?’, $src );
return $parts[0];
}
add_filter( ‘script_loader_src’, ‘_remove_script_version’, 15, 1 );
add_filter( ‘style_loader_src’, ‘_remove_script_version’, 15, 1 );

I concur. Using the script above instead of the plugin yielded great results.

Plugin did not work for me 🙁

Thanks for the code. Any idea on why your code would do something to alter the size of fonts?… it seems to do something to my CSS file I guess.

Hi,

I added the code to my chold themes funtions.php and works great!
Before I got a F37 after the code a A 96

However there remain two url’s that still have the Query strings:

http://logologics.nl/testrij/wp-content/themes/canvas/includes/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=4.0.3
http://logologics.nl/testrij/wp-content/uploads/smile_fonts/Defaults/Defaults.woff?6d70fz

Any idea what causes this and how to remove the strings here as well?

Thanks,
Annie

I added the code mentioned above to my functions.php but when I run it through http://tools.pingdom.com/ & https://gtmetrix.com they both give me a failing grade on “remove query strings on static resources”.

I’ve also seen this code posted in a few places:
```
function remove_cssjs_ver( $src ) {
 if( strpos( $src, '?ver=' ) )
 $src = remove_query_arg( 'ver', $src );
 return $src;
}
add_filter( 'style_loader_src', 'remove_cssjs_ver', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'script_loader_src', 'remove_cssjs_ver', 10, 2 );
```
When I use it my errors on the page speed testing sites remain. What’s the difference between the two? And any idea why neither are working?
