Are there visitors accessing those posts which hadn’t been updated in 2 months?
The updates are triggered when someone accesses the post, so if no one accesses the post then it won’t update until someone does view it.
Oh, i didn’t knew that. I was thinking that every visit in the site, was triggering a cron for xxx posts each time. Like the manual sync.
thanks !
The reason for this is to save update requests / optimize performance.
If a post has not been visited for a long time, then it is very likely that it’s page view count and share count has not changed. Therefore no attempt to update the stats is made.
Similarly, if a post is shared somewhere then it’s likely that someone will visit the post and trigger an update to be added to the cron. The plugin only queues an update task for the one post that was visited.
