Disable requests to api.wordpress.org

by

I need to suppress outbound requests to api.wordpress.org somehow. They are taking like Best Answereconds each and take so many time to load a page when I’m logged as admin.

I’ve searched for some solutions over the web but they don’t seem to work.

You can Disable HTTP Calls by adding this in your wp-config.php

define( 'WP_HTTP_BLOCK_EXTERNAL', TRUE );

This will disable/block all external HTTP requests and will make website alot faster.

And then you can whitelist domains that you don’t want to block.

define( 'WP_ACCESSIBLE_HOSTS', 'example.com, domain.com' );
