    Hi,

    how can I remove the generator tag from Performance Lab so that it does not appear anywhere in the source code (website/rss-feed/etc.)?

    Currently it still says (unwanted):

    <meta name=”generator” content=”Performance Lab 1.3.0; modules: images/webp-uploads”>

    How do I disable this entry?

    Regards

    Hi @dajanas! Many plugins include meta tags, so this isn’t really specific to Performance Lab. If you do a Google search you can find some details on how to disable meta tags via other plugins or by editing your functions.php file. If you still need help, you can try posting to the Fixing WordPress forum.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi, I have disabled the meta generator of wordpress (which shows the wordpress version) via functions.php, but I don’t know how to do it on Performance Lab. And it is the only plugin that sets this meta tag (and it is absolutely unnecessary).

    What is the line to remove the meta tag from Performance Lab?

    I found the solution myself.

    Just put the following line in the functions.php:

    remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘perflab_render_generator’);

    And you’re rid of the unnecessary entry.

    Thanks, @dajanas! Glad to hear that you found a solution. I’ve passed your feedback about the use of a meta tag on to our team.

    It is basically not nice when a plugin imposes itself in the source code. I always remove such hints as soon as possible.
