Hi there,
Would that affect the functionality of WooCommerce?
That is a broad question ;). In a perfect world we would test WooCommerce with all other plugins out there and write code that integrates other extensions into WooCommerce, but there are simply too many to keep up.
You will need to ask the team behind the Heartbeat Control plugin. Maybe they do test with WooCommerce.
Kind regards,
You can disable everything that is working in the background for wordpress and woocommerce still works.
But it takes months to find all the crap that they do behind your back and that slow your website.
Hi @catboulin,
I promise we’re not trying to do anything behind your back or to slow down your site. If there were anything we could help investigate regarding a slow down please do create a new thread here on our forums. 🙂
I understand, this is not the first time that I talk with someone from Ottomatik who does not know what he is speaking about <3

Hi @wrip!
I know this is a bit late, but to answer your question:
Would that affect the functionality of WooCommerce?
No! It is mainly used in WP admin to automatically save post drafts etc
WooCommerce does, however, use the same wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint for some asynchronous operations, such as:
Recalculating shipping costs and taxes after customer details have changed
Loading variations in product pages (both admin and customer view)
Add to cart function on shop pages
Updating cart contents
.. however, none of these operations use the Heartbeat API
I hope this answers your question.
Cheers!
