wpseek

<p>This plugin completely disables the theme, plugin and core update checking system in WordPress. The plugin prevents WordPress from<br />
checking for updates including cronjobs, and prevents any notifications from being displayed.</p>
<p>It’s <em>very</em> important that you keep your WordPress theme, core and plugins up to date! If you don’t, your blog or website could<br />
be <strong>susceptible to security vulnerabilities</strong> or performance issues.</p>
<p>If you use this plugin, make sure you keep yourself up to date with new releases of your active WordPress version, plugins<br />
and themes and update them as new versions are released (simply by deactivating this plugin for a short time).</p>

Disable All WordPress Updates

My dashboard was slow due to api.wordpress.org but this plugin fixed INSTANTLY


Thank you for your service to speed and sanity Oliver! 🙏



This instantly solve a large amount of unnecessary Admin speed issues. ⚡️




Just try it for a few minutes, and compare your Admin speed before and after activating!



Set yourself up a separate Wordpress instance with the free MainWP plugin, and use that for managing all your site updates automatically, manually, or a mix from there instead.




I've been working with Wordpress for about 15 years. This is the way. 💪


Very site should use this with a separate MainWP instance for updates 🥰

Disables the theme, plugin and core update checking, the related cronjobs, plugin/theme update health checks and notification system.
