Plugin Cron Path and File To Fire

the default recurrence of the queue processing job is every 10 minutes, so I’d go with that if I were you?

Cool on time but what path/file does “ao_ccss_queue” need to be fired (ie. Mydomain.com/what-path/file)?

Any other paths and other files that need to fire too or just only the “ao_ccss_queue” one?

??

Greg

there’s also ao_ccss_maintenance (2 times a day) and ao_ccss_servicestatus (once a day) ??

Great. Lastly I think all I need to confirm is the path all 3 files are located thqt need those timed cron triggers. Are they all 3 in the plugin folder somewhere or elsewhere?

Once I have that, I will test with Easy Cron and let you know how I make out.

??

Greg

but ao_ccss_maintenance, ao_ccss_servicestatus and ao_ccss_queue are not files, they are actions that are scheduled for execution. there is only one path to kick any scheduled job into action; https://yourdomain.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron

have a look at e.g. this article on how to disable wordpress cron.

hope this clarifies,

Hey Frank,

That clarifies.

On WP Multisite Network installations it is enough to have just the primary site set for the real cron job and that would trigger both gor ALL subsites on the network along with the primary site right? In other words, we do not have to create a real cron job in cpanel for all subsites individully of course right (that could dozens, hundreds, or in some cases thousands of subsites). What is the best approach for a WP Multisite Network in that case?

as far as I know each subsite will have to be called separately. based on e.g. this stackoverflow discussion WP CLI might be your friend though ..

Hey Frank,

Ok. I found this perfect and genuis method for multisites https://sabrinazeidan.com/wpcron-multisite-approach-high-loaded-networks/ All my other crons for subsites began working (see the parenthesis for future times on other items here https://www.screencast.com/t/4z4BIc26Zv02) but the 2 “ao…” items are still in the past. I have also tried disabling the Critical CSS plugin and reenabling it too. See here https://www.screencast.com/t/gSVMPVskadq

So, now the we know Cron is firing on all subsites individually along with the primary, what else should I look at to get it working with the Critical CSS plugin addon?

??

Best,

Greg

well, the 3 actions are scheduled, so if cron is working they _should_ kick in .. maybe enable debug logging and check the contents of wp-content/uploads/ao_ccss/queuelog.html to see what is (not) happening?

Howdy Frank,

I think I should be real close now. FYI, this is where I am https://www.screencast.com/t/qcJnTDA53Zj Does this seem to you we are close to it working and I just have to wait for a while and recheck later or do you think something else?

Greg

It began working but the cron for all subsites cron but was taking too much resources. So, I just set the primary and this one subsite I have critical css for now. It seems to be working now in cpanel using “wget -q -O — https://specific-domain.com/wp-cron-multi-site.php?doing_wp_cron” I will go back to the https://sabrinazeidan.com/wpcron-multisite-approach-high-loaded-networks/ OR https://medium.com/techcompose/how-to-configure-cron-jobs-in-the-right-way-in-your-wordpress-website-b408661feeb3 later maybe on a more powerful server for the about of subsites and activity going on with them.

1. What is the R mean? See here https://www.screencast.com/t/sj4QbQhhDO

2. Will it work with https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/gtranslate/ as well?

3. With Divi or other pagebuilders, it seems to work for default without ticking this option https://www.screencast.com/t/a6ZwHtZSzl I may be missing things it is not picking up. I am curious with folks using pagebuilders or Divi theme with its builder do most people you find use this or not?

4. When adding new pages or posts or editing them, will the Critical CSS with Autoptimize automatically detect and adjust? What about when updating plugins or settings that may effect?

5. When I click Cleare Autoptimize cache does it clear Critical CSS too?

1. R stands for review, indicating criticalCSS saw differences in the rendering with normal vs critical css. run a page with “R” on manually criticalcss.com itself and compare the screenshots to see if this is a small or big difference

2. should work

3. depends on how the pagebuilder is being used; if the above-the-fold structure remains the same for all page, this is not needed. from experience we know that most people make very different pages which have a vastly different look & feel above the fold, in which case activating the option is required.

4. the plugin picks up on changes and new pages automatically, no need do a thing ??

5. no, as wp-content/uploads/ao_ccss/*.css are not cached files, but hold the critical CSS that is referenced in the rules. the plugin will remove old files if they’re not referenced in the rules any more, so things should stay nice & tidy

Frank,

Nice on all 5 points. Thanks!

On this https://www.screencast.com/t/PpPt3u6k6fV does it actually create WebP variations or just serve any that we already have?

??

Greg

it creates webp-variations ??

Nice on WebP. When I ticked the WebP box and saved changes this happened FYI https://www.screencast.com/t/Pc1kXyghP (is this normal and why)?

Oh, and is there a place to see the WebP variations created?

I assume we can untick the box if needed for whatever reason but my option, currently, disappeared per above?
