Is there any way to hide various information from theme detectors. Ideally I would like to hide everything. The site displays a built with Generatepress link, but for security purposes it would be useful to block the detection tools.

It depends on the detector. Some of them use the same API that WordPress.org uses, which is necessary in order for the theme to get updates.

Unfortunately I don't think there's any way to block it.

Thanks Tom. Before I close this, I had a plugin recommended to me for this purpose https://www.wp-hide.com

It rewrites resource URLs, which seems a bit risky to me. Is this something you would advise against?

Thanks

It will likely make it so you can't get GeneratePress updates through the Dashboard.
