Debloat Wordpress

I think asking this on the forum is the right thing to do.

How to debloat Wordpress system?
I want my Wordpress to run as minimally as possible, for example removing unnecessary features, removing events on the dashboard, and so on.

    Convert wordpress into html static files. That's it.

    PerfMatters + Code Snippets to custom admin area and others.

    or ClassicPress?

    Above answers are really low quality

    To be fair, @LTniger was fine I guess

    You were not asking for cache, you were asking for removing bloat

    Here's the thing:

    Bloat is created, it's not included

    WordPress is very well made and minimalistic, but it's also very easy to make it the opposite

    But it comes nearly bloat-free I'd say

    As for your example of bloat, the events, those can be removed hidden* without any plugins or anything, the admin dashboard view is customizable on a per user basis

    Just do not use cms for always ststic website. Why? HTML!

  • ailiceailice Member

    What do you want achieve btw? Wordpress aleardy so minimal from start with reasonable features. Other than that just depends on theme / plugins your using.

    Caching and CDN have more significant impact for wordpress than tinkering core wordpress may cause any issue when upgrading wordpress.

    Maybe you can try this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/unbloater/

    My focus is not on the page, but the Wordpress system itself.

    I agree with you

    Yup!

    Any guide?

    How do I remove those elements from the system right away? I want to delete, not hide.

    I will use this if that is my wish.
    I have experience with org-mode, hugo, and others.

    My focus is Wordpress, not alternatives.

    Minimalism on the system

    Caching and CDN have more significant impact for wordpress than tinkering core wordpress may cause any issue when upgrading wordpress.

    That is not the focus of my question

    You don’t

    Core files are tiny anyway

    Dosen’t use any resources

    And you’ll have to redo your whole hunt for files you don’t use and manually remove stuff

    Every
    Damn
    Update

  • aliletalilet Member

    Why do you want to remove features from admin panel? You should be concerned about front end which actually matters. Or you meant to say make front end bloat free so it loads fast?
    For that you can use some plugin. I am using Super Page Cache for Cloudflare on one of my blogs and it has made website loading very fast.

    there's wordpress headless thing. it removes everything and makes site static, pure html, one css combined file, and one js file. that's it!

    Strong yabs host + server cache (litespeed). Dont over complicating stuffs. There will be plugins/ cache conflicts & security risks if you try to over-optimized/installing stupid plugins.

  • mwtmwt Member

    If you're on a VPS with low ram, I'd recommend the sqlite plugin. It won't make WordPress lighter, but not having to run a MySQL/MariaDB server will definitely make your installed system lighter.

    do you know plugin name?

    It's usually not a plug-in. You just use WordPress as a CMS from Gatsby or something.

    It's not about compatibility with WP or not, ClassicPress is free open-source CMS which based on WordPress. It's not a plugin, theme. It's a CMS.

    I just tried wp2static for the first time

    I think it’s perfect for one of my clients websites that often crasches (low traffic but crazy spikes and very bloated)

    Easy enough to deploy
