Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview
About this plugin
Metadas Version Removal is a fast, minimal, production ready plugin that strips WordPress version information from all common output locations. This helps reduce fingerprinting, hardens your site against automated scanners, and keeps your HTML clean.
There is no admin interface and no configuration required. Activate the plugin and it immediately removes:
WordPress generator meta tag
Version query strings from scripts and styles
REST API discovery links
oEmbed discovery links
RSS generator tags
Shortlink tags
RSD (Really Simple Discovery) link
Windows Live Writer manifest
This plugin is intentionally small, efficient, and dependency free. It uses only core WordPress hooks and does not write to the database.
