Control WordPress notifications and automatic updates. Hide admin notices, update emails, and manage core updates.

wpseek

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

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.
