Your Elementor site is slow and bloated. Here is what I actually remove.

The site loads. It works. It is even fine. And then a client, or a scanner, or a junior who just ran PageSpeed, finds the things you did not mean to ship: the WordPress version number baked into the feed, the emoji script that costs you a few kilobytes on every single page, the “Created with Elementor” badge sitting under the footer of a site that took you six weeks. None of it is on fire. Together they add up to “this was not finished.”

I have come up with a name for this specific category of problem, and it is not a performance problem in the way people mean when they say it. It is the “leftover debris of the tools you used to build it” problem. And the fix I keep re-doing by hand on every client site is, embarrassingly, a fixed set of about eight small things.

So I put the list in one place

Reboot Addons has a little section I call Features & Tweaks. It is not a widget and it is not a template. It is a set of one-click toggles for the small things a site should not be leaking. The free set is eight. Here they are, the actual eight, because I would rather hand you the list than write a paragraph about it:

the Features and Tweaks toggles panel in Reboot Addons, Performance section — One of several tabs. Every toggle is reversible.

Remove the WordPress version number — the one in the meta tag and the one in the feed. First thing a scanner greps for.
Remove WordPress emoji — kills the emoji script and its inline CSS. Small cost, every page, forever.
Disable XML-RPC — a remote call endpoint most sites do not use and attackers love. One click on, one click off.
Hide the admin bar for non-admins — editors and shop managers keep what they need, visitors stop seeing the bar.
Remove the “Created with Elementor” badge — this is the one clients actually notice, which makes it the one I always forget, which is why it is a toggle now.
Archive Add to Cart → View Product — a WooCommerce behaviour nudge. The button does the thing the client always wanted instead of the thing WooCommerce defaults to.
Trim the .00 on prices — a small-store fix, and it reads as intentional the moment it is on.
Disable the Elementor promo banners — the little upsell nag in the editor. Off, and it stays off.

The key idea: every single one of these is reversible by flipping the same toggle back. That is the whole design decision. I could ship the “permanently strip this” version and save myself a line of code, and a client site could have a reason to be broken next week that I would have caused. Instead they are switches. Toggle. Done. Undo. Done.

What I specifically do not do automatically

The one I would not flip without checking first: disable cart fragments. It is a real WooCommerce performance win on a lot of shops, but it will also break a checkout flow that was written to depend on it, and that is a job to verify, not one to assume. It is in the Pro tier of the set, on purpose, because it is the one that changes how the site behaves rather than how it looks.

Everything else above is free and reversible. The Pro tier adds ten more, several of which are WooCommerce-side. If you are not running a shop, ignore that part of the panel entirely.

Frequently asked stuff

Will this slow my site down?

It does the opposite. The whole point of the free set is it removes a bit of weight from your site, not adds. The emoji and version-number ones in particular are a small, direct, measurable win — the script, the meta tag, the badge. Every other toggle is a behaviour change. They do not cost you anything.

Does it need Elementor Pro?

No. Reboot Addons works with free Elementor. And several of these toggles are not even Elementor-specific — the version number, the emoji script, the XML-RPC one. You can run the whole free set on a plain WordPress build with no paid editor.

Can I turn any of these back on?

Every single one is a toggle that flips both ways. You do not “apply” this thing. You flip a switch. That is the design. If a client complains in a quarter, the answer is a flip, not a rebuild.

The list is in the free plugin

It is a free install in the WordPress plugin directory — Reboot Addons, by Reboot Websites. You install it, open Features & Tweaks, and you have your site’s “did I ship that?” list in front of you, every toggle reversible, and the version number gone before the next PageSpeed check. That is the entire job. It is eight switches and a toggle, and it is the reason the “was this finished?” question stops being a client’s.

One more thing. Every toggle in that list is reversible, which means you can try the whole set on a staging copy and keep only what actually moved the number.
