Functions optimization question

Hi folks
this is an advanced user question (me).

Seeking to streamline overhead a little for all the theme functions we don’t use, and will never use with the theme, which are now loaded via td_wp_booster_functions.php and not main functions.php file.

For example, can I safely remove some of the elements such as

require_once('td_ads.php');       //handles background click ad
require_once('td_demo_site.php');  // the demo site
require_once('td_video_playlist_support.php'); //video playlist support
require_once('td_first_install.php');  //the code that runs on the first install of the theme
require_once('td_smart_list.php');  //the smart lists
require_once('td_login.php');  // modal window for user login

In the above list, we don’t use background ads, demo site, video playlists, smart lists, or logins; and we don’t use theme panel to install plugins/check for plugin install.

Similarly is it practical to remove the entire bottom section, since we’re not using the theme admin to manage install or nag screen for *any* plugin install, and it’s a lot of “newbie bloat” for us.

e.g., section starting with:

    /*  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
        TGM_Plugin_Activation
     */
    require_once 'external/class-tgm-plugin-activation.php';

(etc.)

Thanks folks 🙂

Trying to optimize a little as some stuff we don’t use and never will use and is redundant/irrelevant for our use.

Well, that last bit I obviously can’t remove as it crashes the theme.

But curious about the rest?

Thanks, Radu
this is primarily for the ecommerce setup I’m working on for my main business site (pays all my bills!), which similarly I plan to put in place then not change for 6 months+ either, so timing will work well.
