WP HTTP Blocklist

Block unwanted HTTP requests with a blocklist.

When you manage platforms with WordPress with composer, it is sometimes penalizing to have all HTTP requests for update control.

For WordPress updates, you can use the very good Disable All WordPress Updates plugin, but for other plugins, blocklist management seems more flexible :)

Requirements

WordPress > 4.4
PHP > 5.6

Customization and hooks

By default, you have a blocklist integrated into the plugin which will be gradually enriched.

You can add or modify the domains to block via the following hook / filter: "wp_http_blocklist" which transmits an array.

Example

<?php 
add_filter( 'wp_http_blocklist', function( $hosts ) {
	$hosts[] = 'blockthisdomain.com';

	return $hosts;
}, 10 );

How to build your own blocklist?

Install the famous plugin Log HTTP Requests, and you will see all the external requests made by your platform.

You can also find these requests via plugins like Query Monitor or APM services (ex: NewRelic)
