外掛說明
“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 admin-ajax.php, 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.

常見問題集
-
What is the Heartbeat API?
-
The Heartbeat API is used by WordPress to send periodic requests (every 15–60 seconds) to
admin-ajax.phpfor tasks like auto-saving posts, syncing data, and showing logged-in user activity. -
Why should I control it?
-
Frequent AJAX calls from the Heartbeat API can cause high CPU usage and slow down your site, especially if you or your users keep multiple admin tabs open.
-
Is it safe to disable the Heartbeat API?
-
Yes, but some features like autosave or post locking won’t work. For most sites, it’s safe to disable or reduce the frequency in the Dashboard or Frontend.
-
Will this plugin work with caching plugins?
-
Yes! This plugin complements performance optimization tools like WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, or LiteSpeed Cache.
