Server-side tuning for sites that want to squeeze out every remaining bit of overhead.

## The problem it solves

Beyond what shows up in a page's HTML, WordPress runs background processes that cost server resources regardless of whether a specific site actually benefits from them — a dashboard polling mechanism firing every fifteen seconds, a legacy remote-publishing protocol most sites never use, and WooCommerce's own scripts loading in full even on pages that have nothing to do with shopping.

## How it helps

Dotjuice Pagespeed lets you throttle or disable WordPress's Heartbeat API (the background polling that powers autosave and "someone else is editing this" notices), disable XML-RPC if you don't use remote publishing tools, and stop WooCommerce's cart and shop scripts from loading on pages that aren't part of your shop.

## The result

Less background server load, and WooCommerce's overhead confined to the pages that actually need it.
