So, after working on a MVC platform for the past year, I returned to WP to update my website. Looking at the source code I find Emoji script in my header.<\/p>\n

As most people know, js scripts should be placed in the footer in terms on SEO og page load. And in my case, I don’t use Emoji in 90% of my sites. So having JS code in my source code that I will never use is not good.<\/p>\n

As many has stated before (in previous threads I’ve read), I should not have to use a 3rd party plugin to disable a core function in order to prevent “garbage” code in my html source code.<\/p>\n

Rather, if you want to use Emoji, you could either configure this in admin panel or be able to add this using add_theme_support( 'emoji' );<\/code><\/p>\n

So my question is, what is the status of this? Has the WP team done anything about this?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-6673958","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/6673958","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/6673958\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6673958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
