# Heartbeat API Control Settings

 * Thank you for including the option for Heartbeat API Control in Super Page Cache!
   This means I can get rid of a dedicated plug-in “Heartbeat Control by WP Rocket”
   which previously provided this functionality, which I found pretty much essential
   for using the Divi theme.
 * I have it set to Disabled for both Admin and Front End, and Reduced for Post 
   Editing. 
   Please can you advise what rate the Reduced value is actually using,
   as I used to have it to 180 seconds in the Heartbeat Control plug-in which worked
   fine. Is ‘Reduced’ set to something similar?

 * Hi [@graham-smith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graham-smith/),
 * Thanks for the kind words! Glad it’s working well for you with Divi.
 * To answer your question: the **“Reduced”** setting applies a Heartbeat interval
   of **120 seconds** (2 minutes). This is slightly more frequent than the 180-second
   interval you had in Heartbeat Control by WP Rocket, but still very conservative
   and should work just as well for keeping resource usage low.
 * Currently the reduced interval is a fixed value and isn’t user-configurable. 
   If you’d find it useful to set a custom interval (e.g. 180 seconds), feel free
   to share your feedback.
