      What does wp_cron() do?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      As you receive visitors on your site, WordPress checks your database to see if anything is scheduled to run. If you have a wp_cron() job scheduled every 12 hours, then the very first visitor 12+ hours from the last scheduled run of that function will trigger the function to run in the background. The Cronjob (or Cron Job) sends a request to run cron through HTTP request that doesn't halt page loading for the visitor.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      How is wp_cron() different from Server configured Cronjobs?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Cronjobs configured on a server run on their intervals automatically, while wp_cron() jobs run only after being triggered from a visitor to your site.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
