From the readme

SavedPixel Update Disabler Control WordPress update behavior, outbound HTTP requests, and wpmail() from one staging-focused settings page. What It Does SavedPixel Update Disabler centralizes several lock-down controls that are often scattered across constants, filters, or environment-specific config. It can suppress update checks, turn off core auto-update channels, disable wpmail(), block external HTTP requests, and keep a log of blocked outbound calls. Key Workflows - Disable core, plugin, theme, and translation update activity for controlled environments. - Disable only selected plugin updates instead of turning off every plugin update. - Turn off development, minor, and major core auto-update channels independently. - Block external HTTP requests globally or only when they originate from specific plugins or themes. - Review the blocked-request log to see what the network rules are stopping. Features - Disable WordPress core update checks and update UI. - Disable plugin updates globally. - Disable updates only for selected plugin basenames. - Disable theme update checks. - Disable translation update offers and background language-pack updates. - Disable development, minor
