## ✨ Key Features

### 🔒 Security Enhancements

**Disable Comments**
Stop spam and reduce security risks by completely disabling the WordPress comment system. Perfect for business sites, portfolios, and landing pages that don't need commenting functionality.

**Disable XML-RPC**
Block one of the most common attack vectors used by hackers. XML-RPC is rarely needed for modern WordPress sites and disabling it significantly improves your site's security.

**Disable REST API**
Prevent unauthorized access to your site's data through the REST API. Reduces potential security vulnerabilities and protects your content from scrapers.

**Disable File Editor**
Remove the built-in theme and plugin editor from the WordPress admin panel. This prevents potential code injection attacks and unauthorized modifications to your site.

**Change Login Error Message**
Replace specific login error messages with generic ones, making it harder for attackers to determine valid usernames on your site.

### ⚡ Performance Optimizations

**Remove Version from Stylesheets & Scripts**
Strip version numbers from CSS and JS files to improve caching and prevent fingerprinting. Helps protect your site from targeted attacks based on known vulnerabilities.

**Remove WordPress Dashicons**
Eliminate unnecessary icon fonts from loading on the frontend (unless you're logged in). Reduces HTTP requests and improves page load speed for visitors.

**Remove Generator Meta Tags**
Clean up HTML bloat by removing WordPress version and plugin generator tags. Improves security by hiding what software versions you're running.

**Remove Visual Composer, Revolution Slider & Yoast SEO Generator Tags**
Strip unnecessary meta information added by popular plugins. Keeps your HTML clean and prevents information leakage.

**Remove WPML Generator Meta**
Remove multilingual plugin signatures from your HTML for a cleaner, faster-loading page.

**Disable Auto Linking of URLs**
Prevent WordPress from automatically converting URLs in comments into clickable links. Reduces spam and unwanted links.

**Remove Capital P Dangit**
Disable WordPress's automatic correction of "Wordpress" to "WordPress". Keep full control over your content.

### 🔧 WordPress Tweaks

**Disable RSS Feeds**
Turn off RSS/Atom feeds if you don't use them. Reduces unnecessary server requests and potential content scraping.

**Disable Login Language Switcher**
Remove the language selector from the login page for a cleaner interface and slightly faster login page loading.

**Remove RSD Link, Short Link & WLW Manifest**
Clean up header bloat by removing legacy meta links that modern sites don't need. Reduces HTML size and improves page load times.

**Remove Powered By HTTP Header**
Strip the "X-Powered-By" header that reveals your server's PHP version. Improves security through obscurity.

### 🔄 Update Management

**Control Auto-Updates**
Fine-tune automatic updates for WordPress core, plugins, themes, and translations. Choose which components update automatically and which ones you want to review manually.

**Disable Auto-Update Email Notifications**
Stop receiving notification emails for automatic updates while keeping the updates themselves active. Reduces inbox clutter without compromising functionality.

### 📝 Content Management

**Disable Posts Revisions**
Stop WordPress from saving multiple versions of your posts and pages. Reduces database bloat and improves database query performance.
