WP loads certain external files (fonts, Gravatar, etc.) and makes external HTTP calls. This isn't usually an issue, unless you're working in an evironment without a web connection. This plugin removes/unhooks those actions to reduce load time and avoid errors due to missing files. Current Actions --------------- [](#current-actions) - removes external JS and CSS files from loading - replaces all instances of Gravatar with a local image to remove external call - removes all HTTP requests - disables all WP update checks for core, languages, themes, and plugins - includes toggle in admin bar for quick enable / disable Changelog --------- [](#changelog) See [CHANGES.md](CHANGES.md).
