This plugin is made for developers who work on local server copies of live WordPress installations, and want to know for sure if they're working on their local copy, not the live one!
The idea behind it is to help prevent accidental changes on live sites if you have multiple browser windows open including both the local and live site.
It's recommended you keep this plugin active on both your live and local installation. Otherwise, if you make a copy of your live server and overwrite your local one it may deactivate the plugin locally. The performance impact should be near 0 for keeping this active.
If you have any issues or suggestions, please visit our
support forums.
