“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.
This plugin provides a clean, user-friendly interface that lets you: 
– ✅ Enable or disable Heartbeat API 
– ✅ Adjust Heartbeat frequency (interval in seconds) 
– ✅ Control behavior per section: Dashboard, Post Editor, Frontend 
– ✅ Instantly apply changes without code
Ideal for performance-conscious site owners and developers.
🛠 No need to write a single line of code. Everything is controllable through the WordPress admin.
