About WP Feature Disable
From the official readme · v1.0Description
Disables a collection of WordPress features that can help your blog run more efficiently and smoother.
This includes functions such as the auto-save and revision tracking features used on the post and page
editor sections which can help reduce database size by eliminating the build up of revisions which exist
purely for administrative purposes and reduce server load. Other functions include the comment author URL,
WordPress ‘Generator’ tag, and more.
