Remove WordPress Emoji Support

All currently used browsers have built-in Emoji support, regardless of the operating system. Only some older versions of Internet Explorer on Windows and old Chrome versions on macOS (in 2013) were not supporting Emojis. But, WordPress is still loading a bulky replacement system for Emojis that will test the browser for Emoji support, and render emojis as images if the browser doesn't support it. This is a costly process, that includes huge JS embedded in the page and additional files linked and loaded that can be often flagged by performance tests.
If you need to support browsers that were last used in 2012 or 2013, don't use this plugin!
- All the Emoji bloat WordPress adds will be gone.
- Emojis will not work in browsers that were used in 2012 or 2013
It is very simple: it removes all the Emoji elements added by WordPress.
