Hiding IDs from META tags helps reduce unnecessary technical signals exposed in your WordPress site’s source code. While these IDs are not vulnerabilities by themselves, they can provide structural hints that automated scanners use when profiling websites.
This tutorial will guide you through enabling this feature step-by-step.
Why Hide IDs from META Tags?
META tags in your WordPress website contain IDs within <link>, <style>, and <script> tags. These IDs can reveal information about the plugin names, theme names, and WordPress library.
Activate the ID Hiding Feature in WP Ghost

Cache Plugins Compatibility
Hiding IDs from META tags may affect plugins that rely on cache-identification methods based on these IDs. Test your caching functionality after enabling this option.
Use your browser’s Inspect Element tool or View Source to verify that the IDs have been removed from <link>, <style>, and <script> tags.
