I checked the code of this plugin before installing it: it does what it says and
absolutely nothing else. It basically just adds the minimum code to enable the auto-
updates within WordPress. There is absolutely nothing else in there, which is awesome.
Install this plugin and rest easy it’s not bogging down your website like 99% of
plugins out there.

I have been looking for a simple and working auto-update plugin for some time now,
I saw this one and was a bit skeptical but after testing it out, it worked perfectly.
Just install and activate. The best one that I’ve found.
