Wordpress LScache Plugin: Crawler cron question
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Good day. Im using LSCache for a new and yet unpopular website. I know that with many other caching plugins preloading phase is triggered with a visit (visit -> wp-cron.php -> preloading). With unpopular websites I usually add the wp-cron.php wget cron on a system level, because wp-cron isnt called if noone visits the website. The line that Im usually adding is the following: wget -q -O ? https://domain.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron >/dev/null 2>&1 Ive set Crawler cron: enabled. Will it be triggered even if noone visits the website or should I also add the wget to domains` wp-cron on a system level? Please, clarify. Thank you, Serge Hi, Yes, that way will trigger the cron job , even there is no visitor. Best regards, qrwrk, which way exactly? Adding cron on a server level is recommended or redundant? Hi, I mean wget -q -O ? https://domain.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron >/dev/null 2>&1 this will trigger the cron even there is no visitor. use system cron job is more periodic and more controllable as you can predict when that cron will happen , while use WP cron , you can not predict when will visitor comes, but if your site constantly have traffic , then it should not matter use WP cron or system cron. Best regards, Thanks a lot, sticking to server cron, as usual!
