Check for remote notifications

(@dmaillard)

Hello,

While getting the notifications about the plugin uodates is quite cool in the dasjboard, the function below is doing an HTTP request for each and every pageview on the Dashboard.
Would be super if you could grab the updates once upon a while and not making an HTTP request at every single page load.

Cheers!
David

It is not at all supposed to make one HTTP request at every page load. Have you confirmed this request is done every time? I will check it out and make sure to fix it if need be.

Hélio Julien,

Yes I’m sure about that. I’m on iPad right now so I can’t send you a screenshot but it makes this request of every single page from what I’ve seen.
I used query monitor to trace that.

But it’s not all:-
I have 5 premium extensions of awesome support and each extension is making an http request, also on every page, to check the license number. I have simply removed my licenses from awesome support confit to avoid at requests

Also when I look at the queries by caller on query monitor or when I look at the reports using p3 plugin profiler, I always see awesome support at top of the list being very expensive in sql queries. I’m not exactly sure of the behavior but I’ll look into.

Apart from that, awesome support is a top notch plugin, but given that I have over 80 active plugins, I had to trace down a little bit all of them in order to keep my dashboard loading well.

Cheers,
David

Ps: I’ve translated awesome support in Portuguese (2500 words), if you’re interested I’ll send you that on github

Alright thanks for reporting this. We’ll definitely investigate the remote notifications problem as well as the license requests. I’ll try to fix this ASAP so that you can re-input your licenses (you won’t get updates otherwise).

Many thanks for your offer with the translation. It would be awesome if you could upload your translation on the Transifex project.

The issue with the remote notifications doing one HTTP request on every page load has been fixed. It will be effective with next plugin update. Actually, it should already be resolved because it was related to the remote notification server.
