Disable emoji's
You don't use Emojis in your website ? Then don't load them with this snippet :
/**
* Disable the emoji's
*/
function disable_emojis() {
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'print_emoji_detection_script', 7 );
remove_action( 'admin_print_scripts', 'print_emoji_detection_script' );

remove_filter( 'comment_text_rss', 'wp_staticize_emoji' );
remove_filter( 'wp_mail', 'wp_staticize_emoji_for_email' );
add_filter( 'tiny_mce_plugins', 'disable_emojis_tinymce' );
add_filter( 'wp_resource_hints', 'disable_emojis_remove_dns_prefetch', 10, 2 );
}
add_action( 'init', 'disable_emojis' );

Disable Jquery Migrate
It's loaded by default with Worpdress, and in most case, it's not useful.
function dequeue_jquery_migrate( $scripts ) {
if ( ! is_admin() && ! empty( $scripts->registered['jquery'] ) ) {
$scripts->registered['jquery']->deps = array_diff(
$scripts->registered['jquery']->deps,
[ 'jquery-migrate' ]
);
}
}
add_action( 'wp_default_scripts', 'dequeue_jquery_migrate' );

Disable Embeds
If you don't have a blog or you just don't have to "embed" anything, you can also disable this feature.
function my_deregister_scripts(){
wp_dequeue_script( 'wp-embed' );
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'my_deregister_scripts' );
