Reviews
I had installed this on two of my sites and I kept receiving alerts from my hosting company that I was going over my resource limits. I do NOT have the low level plan! After calling tech support because the error log was so big that I could not get it to load. It was discovered that Easy Updates Manager was causing these huge amounts of errors and causing the server to go over limits due to stress on the CPUs and RAM.I have now uninstalled and made sure that this plugin is deactivated on both sites!
