Emoji are fun and can convey a wide range of emotions. However, not every WordPress website needs them. If you don’t use emojis and don’t disable them, WordPress will load a file named wp-emoji-release.min.js on all your pages, which can slow down your site.
Plugin Features
This plugin does not completely disable emojis. You can still use them in your content. The difference is that the emojis will be rendered by the system’s native fonts. Although the style of emojis varies across different systems, most emojis convey the same emotional meaning. For example:
Benefits
