  • REST API (when logged out)
  • Sitemaps (WordPress core generated)
  • RSS feeds (WordPress core generated)
  • Comments
  • Search (frontend only)
  • Author archives
  • Attachment pages
  • 404 guessing
  • Emoji scripts cruft
  • srcset’s (WordPress core generated)
  • WordPress branding logos (admin bar, login page)
  • Disable select admin sidebar menus

Good work

Any plugin that can disable unnecessary WordPress bloat has my approval. May I also suggest:

Remove Gutenberg block library CSS

function remove_wp_block_library_css(){
    wp_dequeue_style( 'wp-block-library' );
    wp_dequeue_style( 'wp-block-library-theme' );
    wp_dequeue_style( 'wc-blocks-style' );
} 
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'remove_wp_block_library_css', 100 );

Remove front-end admin bar

show_admin_bar(false);
