    Situation:
    Wordpress-Installation with activated UpdraftPlus Premium (all extensions).
    Stay on “Plugins”-Page, Updraft Settings pages and maybe some more pages.

    • WP v.4.9.5
    • UpdraftPlus v2.14.5.1

    In interval of 4-6 seconds, admin-ajax gets called with a get request like:
    <domain>/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=updraft_ajax&subaction=activejobs_list&nonce=<hexnumber>&downloaders= and takes 300-400ms.

    Question:
    Why?

    This eats up my CPU seconds for my hosting account and I don’t see a reason this should be called on the Plugins page.
    And what should be polled anyway? Even on the Updraft settings pages, I don’t see a reason to poll anything.
    Can I deactivate this polling please?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Navigate away from the ‘Current Status’ tab, and then no polling will take place. Polling updates the current backup status. There are many ways that a backup can be started in the background (scheduled, WP-CLI, scripted), so polling is necessary to keep the status fresh. But if you move to a different tab, then it stops.

    Have you read my post?
    That would be ok, if the polling is only on this one setting tab, but it is on all updraft setting pages and even on the normal “Plugins” page of WP.
