“Site Health Status” Score Does Not Display Automatically

  • Good Day!

    Issue:

    We have WP’s Site Health Tool displayed on our dashboard. Our issue is that the site health “score” (i.e., green circle) does not display unless we click on the site health tool link. See below.

    wp-site-health-score-missing

    Question:

    Does the site health tool run on a cron? If so, will it run on both WP’s cron and a Real Cron? How often does the Cron run? If not, what are the minimum requirements (i.e. JS and CSS files that must be enqueued) for the Site Health Tool to run automatically?

    A frustrating situation, indeed.

    Help, tips, or fix appreciated.

    Thank you!

  • The dashboard widget box depends on a weekly WP_cron and it runs when you open up the Site Health page as well, so if the cron for the widget never updates, there might something off with how you have configured your WordPress and if WP_crons are running/working. You can check with WP Crontrol (plugin)

    @jeroenrotty,

    Great info, thanks.

    We use a Real Cron instead of WP_cron. It runs every 30 minutes. Would it still run under this condition?

    If yes, is it safe to assume that the widget should update once a week as well? If no, would you recommend we run WP_cron and our Real Cron at the same time? (we believe it’s not recommended nor required)

    Last (slightly different topic), wouldn’t it be better if the Site Health Status cron ran automatically every time we upload, deactivate, and/or activate a plugin, etc. (instead of once a week)?

    Again, thank you!
