    I note in my access log that my server is accessing /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php with a GET several times per day. Is this access in relation to running a wordpress cron job or could it be something else?

    Hi,

    It is normal WordPress behavior. No need to worry about that.

    More info as follows:

    “Introduced in WordPress 3.6 the WordPress Heartbeat API allows WordPress to communicate between the web-browser and the server. It allows for improved user session management, revision tracking, and auto saving.

    The WordPress Heartbeat API uses /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php to run AJAX calls from the web-browser. Which in theory sounds awesome, as WordPress can keep track of what’s going on in the dashboard.”

    Thanks

    Thanks for that clarion explanation. So, if I add authentication to the wp-admin folder, what will no longer work?
