 * Hi again.
    Our customer support is reporting challenges with syncing updates 
   to the website. It is taking a very long time for some rentals to update. As 
   I understand it, they do update, just in a very unpredictable time frame. This
   concerns both single and bulk record updates.
 * I was wondering if you can give any clue on how to resolve this and where the
   issue might be.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Funpredictable-sync-time%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * You might want to edit your schedule settings to sync more often. It can be a
   difficult balance though, because if the plugin runs too often it could potentially
   be too much load for your server’s resources. But experimenting with slightly
   more frequent syncs might help.
 * I can say, though, that it might ultimately not have anything to do with the 
   sync settings. The Salesforce API is in general kind of slow, and it might be
   slower if you are receiving or sending a lot of data. When the plugin receives
   data from the API, it also does a lot of caching of results.
 * In other words, this plugin isn’t meant for realtime syncing of data from Salesforce,
   and I can’t give you anything that will give you that kind of result.

 * Hi Jonathan. Thanks for getting back so quickly. That was a very good explanation.
   Do you have any suggestions on what we should use to have things go more smoothly
   without ruining the whole integration?

 * Well, I do suggest you experiment with the schedule settings. That might help.
 * If that doesn’t help, you might consider getting more server resources, but only
   if you can definitively know that that is a factor. Throwing server resources
   at a problem isn’t a solution unless you know that the resources are causing 
   the problem.
 * Alternatively, you may just not be able to use this plugin to do what you want.
   Like I said, it’s not meant for realtime syncing.
 * If you do need specifically realtime (or close to realtime) syncing from Salesforce
   to WordPress (which is what it sounds like you want?), I would recommend finding
   a Salesforce developer who can build out an integration within Salesforce that
   sends data to the WordPress API, rather than using a system that runs within 
   WordPress. Certainly that’s not a trivial task, but it would be possible.

   you taking the time!
