    Hello,

    we are using your plugin in our website but we notice that the process is a bit slow.
    We read the following article: https://www.thenewsletterplugin.com/plugins/newsletter/newsletter-delivery-engine and we are trying to figure out how to work with wp cron, as a lot of people say that it tends to slow heavy-traffic sites down.

    In the article mentioned above, it says “To test the wp-cron.php call, try to load it directly from your browser with something like:
    http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-cron.php”

    What is that supposed to do? In our case, it just doesn’ t do anything…

    Kind regards

    wp-cron.php, when called, grants the correct working of the internal wp cron system. There is no reason to think it is really slow down sites. If you setup a call to wp-cron.php you ca disable the internal auto-trigger with define(‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true); in the wp-config.php.

    Hello,
    thanks for the reply!

    That is what I meant to do, I just didn’ t see any response when calling http://www.mydomain.com/wp-cron.php…but you say it actually does something! so I can go ahead with setting up a cron job for: wget –delete-after http://www.mydomain.com/wp-cron.php and disable the internal auto-trigger [define(‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true);]?

    Thank you!

    It’s correct to not see any response! 🙂
