Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records WP Heart Throb version 1.1.0 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Use this plugin to monitor the heart-rate of your WordPress installation.
WordPress uses an API called “Heartbeat” to monitor certain conditions and report to the user if something went wrong.
If your login cookie expires while you’re writing a post, for example, Heartbeat will open a modal window and allow you to log in again.
This plugin adds a small menu item to the WordPress toolbar that does the following things:
Beats every 1 second to remind you about the API
Throbs every interval of the Heartbeat API to confirm connection is active
Future versions of this plugin could add a drop-down to this menu with more information.
