Overview
Prevent WP HTTP requests from slowing down your WordPress website and admin interface
Do you have a slow WordPress admin that takes longer than usual to load? Sometime longer than 5 seconds to load admin or login pages. In rare occasions WordPress may even timeout and show 504 page.

Fastest speedup in wp admin you can get!
by Marcus Quinn·11 months ago
Most of the delays in WP admin are http phone home calls.
This plugin solves exactly that, and you can see who the worst culprits are, too!
This belongs on every WordPress site by default.
Thanks for your amazing work @veppa !
(Small request: can we have a setting to tweak that max page loading time down from 3 seconds? Perhaps options for 3.0, 2.5, 2.0, 1.5, 1.0, 0.5, maybe 1.5 as the default?)
An excellent tool
by tomi500·11 months ago
It is really a very useful tool.
It could be much more handy in use if I didn’t have to open each request to see the HTTP method (GET, POST, …) but it would be displayed directly in the table after “Status” for example.
Anyway, thanks for the excellent plugin!
