      When I checking on google, there is a mixed response for this file.

      What is your opinion about xmlrpc file. Should I keep it or remove it?

        Is up to you: if you need xmlrpc you keep, if you don't need, you can disable...

        Different Wordpress security plugins let you disable to keep Wordpress instance more secure.

              I highly recommend installing WordFence on every single WordPress install.

              I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

                @jdaviescoates Very good advice 👏 They keep secured all Wordpress instances, even before of owner plugin updates, when they find any threat.
