Eliminate all non-essential admin-ajax.php requests

[alexdezi]

Is there a way to eliminate all non-essential admin-ajax.php requests? The plugin seems to initiate a request every 60 seconds (I think?). It looks like they are to pull in new notifications like inquiries etc. is that correct?

I have deactivated all admin notifications (I left e-mail notifications on), but I am still getting very high requests just and that’s just me testing the plugin.

Is it possible to eliminate all those non-essential requests?

Looking forward to help on this!

HI,

The plugin seems to initiate a request every 60 seconds (I think?). It looks like they are to pull in new notifications like inquiries etc. is that correct?

– Right, you may disable this by adding this line to your site –

add_filter( 'wcfm_is_allow_desktop_notification', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'wcfm_is_allow_new_message_check', '__return_false' );

Add this code to your child theme’s functions.php
In case you do not have child theme then add code using this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/

Thank You

Just to add, is there a way to change the 60 seconds to a different value to preserve the functionality?

Thanks

Yes possible. How much you want to set?

Around once every 10 minutes can be a good starting point 🙂 Whatever code you give, I will manually adjust the time value to suit the site needs 🙂
Thanks a lot.

Hello,
Please use the following filter for this purpose- apply_filters( 'wcfm_new_message_check_duration', 60000 ) (WCFM v6.4.8 or above). The value is in millisecond.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot. Implemented for now 😉
