WordPress site now to load the wp-embed.min.js file. And this loads on every single page.
The request itself is sometimes a bigger deal than the content download size.
There are two ways.
1. Custom code in function.php
add_action('init', 'ec_disable_embeds', 9999);
function ec_disable_embeds(){
global $wp;
$wp->public_query_vars = array_diff($wp->public_query_vars, array('embed'));
add_filter('embed_oembed_discover', '__return_false');
remove_filter('oembed_dataparse', 'wp_filter_oembed_result', 10);
remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_oembed_add_discovery_links');
remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_oembed_add_host_js');
add_filter('tiny_mce_plugins', function( $plugins ) {
return array_diff($plugins, array('wpembed'));
});
add_filter('rewrite_rules_array', function($rules) {
foreach($rules as $rule => $rewrite) {
if(false !== strpos($rewrite, 'embed=true')) {
unset($rules[$rule]);
}
}
return $rules;
});
remove_filter('pre_oembed_result', 'wp_filter_pre_oembed_result', 10);
}
2. Using EC Addons
