I’ve had many users asking how this plugins affected server stability, could the updater run at the same time on all websites and crash the server. This is ofcourse a great question and honestly I hadn’t taken that in mind when developing this plugin.
Update Frequency
But good news for everyone, version 2.9.2 bring a ton of back-end fixes and a big new setting to help maintain server stability!
In the new version you can select how often the auto-update kicks in by selecting an update frequency of “Hourly”, “Twice Daily” or “Daily” (ofcourse more options will be added in a future update).

As you can see in the above screenshot of the new setting you can change the update interval for Plugins, Themes and for the WordPress core.
I hope you like this update and if I can add any new feature let me know in the comments or via the contact page 🙂
