Jquery.migrate is used to ensure compatibility with older jquery code using deprecated function.
In case your jquery is all shiny and new and you don’t use deprecated functions, then you can get the reed of jquery migrate and have one less file to load. As usual, we will do that by adding a function in the functions.php file of your theme:
function remove_jquery_migrate($scripts) { if (!is_admin() && isset($scripts->registered['jquery'])) { $script = $scripts->registered['jquery']; if ($script->deps) {
// Check whether the script has any dependencies
$script->deps = array_diff($script->deps, array('jquery-migrate'));
} } } add_action('wp_default_scripts', 'remove_jquery_migrate');
