Remove Jetpack CSS unnecessarily from WordPress website

Removing unnecessary Jetpack CSS out of WordPress website helps reduce page-size and increase load speed.

As you know, Jetpack is one of the versatile plugins that helps integrate many useful features into WordPress website . WP Basic already has a series to guide how to use the Jetpack plugin with the most popular modules. And because of the versatility, Jetpack is quite cumbersome and heavy, especially when you don't know how to turn off unused modules. But even if you turn off unused modules, Jetpack still increases the website's CSS capacity. Why so?

Why do you need to remove Jetpack CSS?
Not only equipped with separate CSS files for each module, Jetpack also aggregates them into one file and loads directly on the front-end. Therefore, even if you have turned off the module, its CSS is still present on the website. So of course, our job now is to immediately remove this "big" CSS file of Jetpack to help reduce page-size, the number of requests and make the website load faster.

How to remove Jetpack CSS?
For Jetpack 6.9 and later
Very simple! All you need to do is insert the following code at the end functions.phpof the theme file (or child theme) that you are using.

add_filter ('jetpack_sharing_counts', '__return_false', 99);
add_filter ('jetpack_implode_frontend_css', '__return_false', 99);

For Jetpack 6.8.1 and earlier
If you are using Jetpack old version (from 6.8.1 and earlier), replace it with the following code. Remember to delete the lines of code that are similar to each module you are using to retain them.

// First, make sure Jetpack doesn't concatenate all its CSS
add_filter ('jetpack_implode_frontend_css', '__return_false');
// Then, remove each CSS file, one at a time
function jeherve_remove_all_jp_css () {
  wp_deregister_style ('AtD_style'); // After the Deadline

If you don't know how to open a file functions.phpor simply fear making a theme error, please refer to the article " Create functions.php file to insert custom WordPress code ".

Finally, delete the website cache (and CSS cache, JS if available) and check the results using tools like GTmetrix or Pingdom (see page-size). It's simple, right? Good luck!
