DeveloperOptimize WordPress performance by controlling Heartbeat API frequency in backend and frontend.
Heartbeat Manager allows you to optimize your WordPress site’s performance by limiting or completely disabling the Heartbeat API calls.
The WordPress Heartbeat API uses AJAX calls (admin-ajax.php) to provide real-time information, such as when other users are editing a post or to show real-time notifications (like in WooCommerce). While useful, on many sites, especially E-commerce stores with high traffic, these frequent calls can put a significant strain on the server’s CPU.
This plugin allows you to granularly control this behavior via a simple settings card in Settings > Heartbeat Manager.
Key Features:
- Backend Frequency Control: Increase or manage the “beat” interval while inside the WordPress Admin Dashboard.
- Flexible Frontend Management: Choose whether to keep the Heartbeat API active on the public site or disable it completely.
- Integrated Testing Guide: Includes a built-in step-by-step Vademecum in the sidebar to verify your settings via browser Developer Tools.
- Lightweight & Translation Ready: Clean, lightweight code that is fully internationalized and ready for translation using the standard
levelnetwork-heartbeat-managertext-domain.
