Hi,

in matter of fact there is no real good way to hide a wordpress installation from experienced ones. Even if it's e.g a revolution slider or any other javascript/css that is wordpress based only plugin, it will reveal your installation.

A standard woocommerce class in the sites sourcecode is enough to reveal to anyone that you are using wordpress and from there i could for example look for css classes to identify your theme and so on...

There are many articles and a huge discussion out there about if such plugins make sense or are just another money-makers for the few..

As a starting point read https://www.fastcomet.com/blog/hide-wordpress-version-or-not#many-recommend-hiding-wordpress-version

Another good article worth reading for a better understanding of what's worth hiding/prottecting is that one:

How to block your Wordpress site from being scanned by WPScan with Nginx - Toronto Web Design and Development | Shift8 Web

Purely as an exercise or proof of concept, I will be running through a bunch of changes you can make to your WordPress site as well as to your NGINX configuration in order to mitigate this information disclosure.
