<p>Provides a method of turning the WordPress heartbeat off as well as change some settings. We use this plugin at RD because the heartbeat was clobbering site performance when more than one editor was logged into the CMS. In the future I plan to add the ability to adjust the settings.</p>
<ul>
<li>Disables admin-ajax.php except on the posts, post edit & quick edit pages</li>
<li>Disables hearbeat autostart</li>
<li>Sets the heartbeat interval to 60 seconds</li>
</ul>
<h3>Arbitrary section</h3>
<p>This is my arbitrary section. There’s really nothing special to add because this is truly a simple plugin with no settings or configuration. Turn it on and block the iframe content thieves. Much of this can also be achieve by working with a good hosting provider. If you are board then head over to my content site <a href="https://www.jafdip.com" rel="nofollow ugc">JAFDIP</a>.</p>

<p>Heartbeat Control by WP Rocket allows you to manage the frequency of the WordPress heartbeat API in a few clicks.</p>
<p>The WordPress Heartbeat API is a great feature that provides real-time communication between the server and the browser when you are logged into your WordPress admin panel. It uses the file /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php to run AJAX calls from the browser. By default, AJAX requests are sent every 15 seconds on post edit pages, and every 60 seconds on the dashboard.</p>
<p>This is indeed helpful; but if you usually leave your WordPress admin open for long periods (for example when you write or edit posts), the AJAX requests from the API can pile up and generate high CPU usage, leading to server performance issues and even hosting account suspensions.</p>
<p>With Heartbeat Control by WP Rocket, you can easily choose to limit or completely stop the activity of the WordPress Heartbeat API. You can also add rules for specific locations only (Dashboard, Frontend or Post Editor).</p>
