    Hello! Please tell me how best to configure the “Heartbeat Control” plugin settings. My site is for news, constantly published or edited. We work 2 people in it. The site is quite busy. I found out about this plugin and its ability to lighten this load. But when I go into the settings, I don’t understand the difference between WordPress Dashboard, Frontend, Post editor. Please tell me what the three things mean and how best to set everything up to work properly and not cause me a problem, but rather help me.

  • I agree – what do the settings mean?

    Hi there,

    I agree that this can be confusing at first, more information should be provided by the developer.

    The three options are pretty self explanatory: dashboard, frontend and editor. There are three options or behaviours for each one as well:

    Allow: allows the default WP heartbeat
    Disallow: disables the WP heartbeat
    Modify: allows to change the default WP heartbeat time of 15 seconds

    If you want to leverage the CPU usage you’ll have to choose between the disallow or modify options. I guess there is no “magic” or optimal time for the “modify” option, as it depends on many factors. That being said, for example, you can increase the heartbeat time from 15 to 60 seconds, this would mean that you’ll be consuming 4 times less CPU usage.

    If you had complains from your hosting provider you can ask them if they have a recommended set up.

    Hope this helps

    Cheers
