<p>“Heartbeat Controller” helps you reduce server load by managing WordPress’s built-in Heartbeat API. WordPress uses the Heartbeat API to make frequent background requests to <code>admin-ajax.php</code>, which can overwhelm your server especially on shared or VPS hosting.</p>
<p>This plugin provides a clean, user-friendly interface that lets you:<br />
– ✅ Enable or disable Heartbeat API<br />
– ✅ Adjust Heartbeat frequency (interval in seconds)<br />
– ✅ Control behavior per section: Dashboard, Post Editor, Frontend<br />
– ✅ Instantly apply changes without code</p>
<p>Ideal for performance-conscious site owners and developers.</p>
<p>🛠 No need to write a single line of code. Everything is controllable through the WordPress admin.</p>
