    Hello Team,

    I am thinking of setting up server based cron for my woocommerce website. What is recommended schedule time to run cron? My hosting provider doesn’t allow it more than once per hour. Will that be sufficient. I use gsuite to send all woocommerce emails so I think emails probably won’t use cron.

    Hi @mayank29gupta,

    What is recommended schedule time to run cron?

    The default intervals provided by WordPress are: hourly, twice daily, daily and weekly. Depending on the traffic you have on your website I think the default interval of one hour should be fine. However, it’s recommended to reach out to your host and check if you have any ability for setting up custom intervals.

    Cheers.

    Hi @rainfallnixfig,

    Thanks for the reply. This is from the hosting company website regarding cron.

    Crons should also be limited to running no more than 1 time every 60 minutes

    I can see that my directadmin control panel provides option to set interval time for cron.

    Hi again,

    Thanks for the reply. This is from the hosting company website regarding cron.

    You can use https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-crontrol/ to view which CRON intervals are being used.

    Most CRON jobs will run hourly (or slower) but that way you can be sure.

    I can see that my directadmin control panel provides option to set interval time for cron.

    That is probably to control your server side CRON but will not affect WordPress.

    Kind regards,
