Description

Stop WordPress sending anything but essential data during the update check.

By default, WordPress sends the following data during the version update check:

  • Current WordPress version
  • Language
  • PHP version
  • MySQL version
  • If multisite in enabled
  • Number of websites the WordPress install is running (this will be 1 unless it is a multisite)
  • Number of users
  • The WordPress database version during initial installation

The WordPress dashboard does not currently provide a way to opt-out of this data collection, but WordPress 4.9 introduced the ability to change whether this data is sent.

This plugin ensures only essential data – current WordPress version and language – are sent during the update check.

There are no options to configure with this plugin.
