Hi @markva!
Our users tend to click all the boxes without reading about the features, which resulted in connection losses with services that use XML-RPC (like Jetpack), thus blaming us for it. While disabling XML-RPC speeds up a website on certain casees, it’s mostly a security-related function so in version 3.8.1, we removed it.
If you want to disable the XML-RPC protocol, I can recommend that you install the following plugin:

Thanks for your reply. In addition, I am glad you took over the plugin, the other issues I had disappeared with the latest release of your plugin.
The disable xmlrpc is known to me; I had it installed on about 120 sites. Before removing from all sites I waited quite some time to see whether Speed Booster Pack’s implementation did the job. In fact, it did. That’s why I removed the disable xmlrpc, which does nothing else than disabling xmlrpc, thereby adding to the number of plugins to maintain.
Honestly, adding and then removing the feature is a bit odd IMO, but I understand that some users who are not savvy had issues when enabling it.
I respect that you’re the boss when it comes to Speed Booster Pack, yet I would prefer you added it back and put it in the Advanced tab.
Thanks and kind regards,
Mark
Thanks @markva! We’ve got a list of new features & fixes for the newer versions, stay tuned for even more goodness! 😉
Also, we’d love it if you submitted a fair review for Speed Booster Pack! Any chance you’ve got a minute for this?
