Optimize Static Resource Requests with Ease
Remove Cookies From Static Resources is a WordPress plugin designed to enhance website performance and privacy by preventing cookies from being sent with requests for static resources such as images, stylesheets, and scripts. This plugin specifically targets modern browsers that support the crossorigin attribute, adding it to all requested static resources. By doing so, it reduces unnecessary data transfer, potentially improving bandwidth efficiency for websites that handle significant cookie data, while requiring no additional settings or database queries from the user.
The plugin operates without impacting older browsers or resources added via JavaScript or CSS. Users can evaluate their need for this plugin by checking the size of their cookie data in the browser console. Although removing cookies can enhance privacy and performance in certain scenarios, it is not a universal solution for all websites, as performance issues may stem from resource management rather than cookie handling.
