Can we remove Wordfence’s call to count_users() on admin dashboard?

    It looks like on every refresh of the WordPress Admin Dashboard, Wordfence invokes count_users(). This slows the loading of our backend, sometimes by 5-10 seconds.

    Can we remove that use of count_users()? If yes, how?

    It does not appear to be doing anything visible on the page. So perhaps it is superfluous?

    Hi @scottlush, thanks for getting in touch.

    Can I confirm that you’re a premium customer and this issue has now been acknowledged through our premium support channels? I had started to look into it and found a ticket there that looks related.

    Peter.

    Yes that’s correct.

    The solution was for us to uncheck the Wordfence > All Options > “Enable activity report widget on the WordPress dashboard”.

    That widget appears to call count_users().

    Thanks for the help. We’re all set.
