Turn off RSS feeds
Every feed address (/feed/, comment feeds, category feeds) sends visitors to the home page, and the feed links leave the page head.
<?php
$no_feed = static function () {
wp_safe_redirect( home_url( '/' ), 301 );
exit;
};
foreach ( array( 'do_feed', 'do_feed_rdf', 'do_feed_rss', 'do_feed_rss2', 'do_feed_atom', 'do_feed_rss2_comments', 'do_feed_atom_comments' ) as $feed ) {
add_action( $feed, $no_feed, 1 );
}
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links', 2 );
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links_extra', 3 );
Good to know
Podcasts, newsletter tools and feed readers use your feed. Leave this off if you use any of them.

- Turn off what you don’t use: Each of these replaces a small plugin: no comments, classic editor, no feeds, no search and more.
