Hiding IDs from META tags is a useful security enhancement to obscure potentially sensitive information in your WordPress site’s source code. WP Ghost makes this process simple and effective.
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
Hide IDs from META Tags

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.
