This is a tiny plugin which is used to stop WordPress from calling /admin-ajax.php for heartbeat checks. This is useful if you're debugging code, because it stops WordPress from hitting your breakpoints every few seconds.
Heartbeat Only:
This will stop WordPress's heartbeat only. Some plugins still use /admin-ajax.php for their own purposes. If this happens it might be possible to see which plugin is responsible by looking at the XHR payload.
Important Note:
This is intended to help devleopers whilst they're debugging. Don't use it in testing or production, because it will have unintended side effects.
