Cleanup
A lightweight WordPress plugin that removes unnecessary bloat, hardens security, and improves performance—with 24 toggleable features and sensible defaults.
WordPress ships with legacy features, exposed APIs, and scripts most sites never use. RationalCleanup gives you one place to turn it all off—with smart defaults that work immediately.
What's Included
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Head Tags Cleanup
Remove version numbers, legacy links, and discovery tags that expose your site to attackers and clutter your HTML.
Frontend Bloat Removal
Strip unused emoji scripts, jQuery Migrate, and Gutenberg CSS to reduce page weight and speed up load times.
Security Hardening
Block XML-RPC attacks, prevent user enumeration, and obfuscate login errors to stop automated hacking attempts.
Performance Optimization
Throttle the Heartbeat API, extend autosave intervals, and disable self-pingbacks to reduce server load.
Major Feature Toggles
Disable comments site-wide, force Classic Editor, or restrict REST API access with a single click.
Dashboard Declutter
Remove distracting widgets like WordPress News, Quick Draft, and Site Health from your admin dashboard.
Why Choose This Plugin
Protected Out of the Box
Security features are enabled by default. XML-RPC attacks are blocked, usernames are hidden from enumeration, and login errors reveal nothing useful—no configuration required.
Replace Plugin Sprawl
Stop installing separate plugins for emoji removal, heartbeat control, XML-RPC blocking, and dashboard cleanup. RationalCleanup handles all 24 features in a single, lightweight package.
Toggle Everything
Every feature is independently toggleable. Keep what works, disable what doesn't. No locked features, no upsells, no surprises—just practical tools that respect your decisions.
