Disable Dashboard Widgets

Declutter the dashboard home by turning off widgets nobody uses. Switched-off widgets stay out of Screen Options and do not load extra scripts in the background.

Overview

Turns off selected Dashboard home widgets so they disappear from Screen Options and do not load their scripts. Discovers core and third-party widgets (visit the Dashboard once to populate discoveries). Optional “disable all” mode keeps only PowerSuite (wpps_) boxes. Can remove the Welcome panel. Soft-overlaps with Hide Update Notifications on PHP nag / Site Health surfaces.
