LevelNetwork Heartbeat Manager Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Heartbeat Manager allows you to optimize your WordPress site’s performance by limiting or completely disabling the Heartbeat API calls.
The WordPress Heartbeat API uses AJAX calls (admin-ajax.php) to provide real-time information, such as when other users are editing a post or to show real-time notifications (like in WooCommerce). While useful, on many sites, especially E-commerce stores with high traffic, these frequent calls can put a significant strain on the server’s CPU.
This plugin allows you to granularly control this behavior via a simple settings card in Settings > Heartbeat Manager.
Key Features:
- Backend Frequency Control: Increase or manage the “beat” interval while inside the WordPress Admin Dashboard.
- Flexible Frontend Management: Choose whether to keep the Heartbeat API active on the public site or disable it completely.
- Integrated Testing Guide: Includes a built-in step-by-step Vademecum in the sidebar to verify your settings via browser Developer Tools.
- Lightweight & Translation Ready: Clean, lightweight code that is fully internationalized and ready for translation using the standard
levelnetwork-heartbeat-managertext-domain.
