For high traffic sites, this can result in a considerable drop in server load. ## Installation This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. e.g. 1. Upload `wpdelaycron.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/wpdelaycron/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress ## FAQ Why wouldn’t you want to run the cron every page it? WordPress makes a seperate web request to run the cron. For every page hit the server has to process 2 web requests. This is wastefull and adds up on a high traffic site. How long does it delay for? Pick a number in the settings page. This will wait to run the cron until that many page views occur. If you pick 10, then you will run the cron every 10 page views. Does this work with multi site installs? Yes. The options page will show up under each individual site, not in the network admin site. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/af8a2017bb998ffa04777b2fa26da9fafb29c108fe0c542287d12f37e81b00f9? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[I was getting lots of Error 508s but site is performing much better now](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-was-getting-lots-of-error-508s-but-site-is-performing-much-better-now/)󠁿 [tomodea](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tomodea/) 9 сар 3, 2016 I was getting lots of Error 508 – Resource Limit is Reached messages but this plugin has made a huge difference to resource usage.
