 * Hello
    I am optimizing my blog and so have removed all unnecessary scripts. I
   was wondering if I can safely remove Jquery. Its loaded from WordPress core. 
   My site does not use any script ro render except some share buttons. I just removed
   it and everything worked well. So can continue with Jquery or do WordPress needs
   it and I have to put it back.

 * I’d strongly recommend that you leave jQuery alone. WordPress core uses it as
   part of the commenting system/.

 * I’m (likely) going to be sorry I asked, but how did you remove jquery?

 * Actually I removed it from themes header.php file so it will not load on page
   load.
    And I dont use wordpress default comment system. I use facebook.
