## Skildring

“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.

### Features

 * Control WordPress Heartbeat activity from the admin panel
 * Apply settings independently for:
    - Admin Dashboard
    - Post/Page Editor
    - Frontend (theme side)
 * Choose from:
    - Allow (default WordPress behavior)
    - Disallow (disable AJAX polling)
    - Modify frequency (set custom interval, e.g., 60 seconds)
 * Built-in protection to prevent unsafe frequency (minimum 15s)
 * Lightweight and developer-friendly
 * Clean UI that follows WordPress standards

### What is the Heartbeat API?

The Heartbeat API is used by WordPress to send periodic requests (every 15–60 seconds)
to `admin-ajax.php` for 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.
