Description
Metadas Version Removal is a fast, minimal, production ready plugin that strips WordPress version information from all common output locations. This helps reduce fingerprinting, hardens your site against automated scanners, and keeps your HTML clean.
There is no admin interface and no configuration required. Activate the plugin and it immediately removes:
- WordPress generator meta tag
- Version query strings from scripts and styles
- REST API discovery links
- oEmbed discovery links
- RSS generator tags
