Disable All WP Updates

This plugin is for site administrators who want full control over when updates are applied. It stops all background update checks for themes, plugins, and the core system, including the associated cronjobs, health checks, and notification banners. By blocking outgoing requests to the update API, it can significantly reduce dashboard load times, especially on sites with many plugins or in restricted hosting environments.

• Blocks all update checks: Prevents the system from contacting update servers for themes, plugins, and core, eliminating background requests and cron tasks.
• Removes all notifications: Hides update nags, admin notices, and toolbar indicators, keeping the interface clean.
• Disables health checks: Stops plugin and theme update health checks that can slow down the Site Health screen.
• Improves performance: Reduces page load times in the admin area by cutting out update-related API calls, as confirmed by user reviews.
• Simple activation: No configuration needed. Activate the plugin and all update systems are disabled immediately. Deactivate temporarily to check for updates manually.
