Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about HTTP Requests Manager

There is no time limit to store logs. Last 1000 logs will be stored. On average it is about 10 days of logs.

Yes, set operation mode to "Only log HTTP requests" and check "disable logging" checkbox in "Settings" tab. With these settings new logs will not be added and you can review already existing old logs.

Yes it removes logs and options stored in database when you uninstall this plugin.

All pages with WP_HTTP requests are recorded. Slow pages without any WP_HTTP requests are not recorded.

This plugin detects only requests made using WP_HTTP class defined by WordPress. It is preferred way of doing remote requests. WordPress core and most plugins/themes use it. Plugin will not detect requests made using other classes and functions. For example remote requests made with WordPress class WP_Http_Curl (deprecated starting from WordPress version 6.4) or PHP functions like curl_exec, fsockopen, file_get_contents are not detected by this plugin. Because they do not have hooks similar to WordPress to manage requests before making them. Unfortunately when plugin/theme uses other functions (not WP_HTTP class) they will not be detected by this plugin.

Performance gain on pages with WP_HTTP requests can be up to 5x. It all depends on which blocking method used and how heavyly remote requests are used by core and pugins.

No. WP_HTTP requests are performed periodically or on certain action. When you check logged requests, there will be around 50-100 pages with requests per day. On website with 10k daily page views (human and bot traffic) it will make around 1% of all pages.

You will most likely feel speed difference in admin area. Pages previously loading slowly or timing out regularly should load much faster.
