<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 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>
