Hey @giorgos93,
wpp_performance_nag is a task that runs hourly to check current site traffic levels within the last hour.
If the plugin finds that:
- the site is getting a lot of traffic, and
- the site isn’t using any sort of object caching or Data Sampling
… then the plugin will display a notice on the admin screen recommending the user to check the Performance section of the plugin’s wiki to make sure that the site is properly configured for -wait for it- performance. (You’d be surprised how many people install plugins without thinking how it might affect their sites, that’s why the notice exists in the first place haha…)
wpp_cache_event is a task that runs once per day around midnight when Data Log Limit is enabled.
So if we’re talking about a low traffic website I guess you could increase the duration of (or even remove) the wpp_performance_nag task.
About the wpp_cache_event one, it already runs only once per day so I don’t see how increasing its duration or removing it could help your site’s performance (assuming that’s what you’re after, please correct me if I’m wrong). If anything, increasing its duration will most likely hurt your site’s performance so I recommend leaving that one alone. Or just disable the Log Limit feature if you want to get rid of its scheduled task for whatever reason and find another way to keep plugin tables lean (eg. create a custom cron job that trims WPP’s database tables every [insert your desired time interval here], or log in into phpmyadmin and trim said tables manually every now and then.)

@hcabrera thanks for the answer! I’ll leave the wpp_cache_event then.
However, when I try to delete the wpp_performance_nag task through WP Crontrol plugin, then it doesn’t work: the task immediately starts, and doesn’t disappear. This is not the only task, that doesn’t disappear – other plugin has this problem as well, for some reason.
Try reaching out the WP Crontrol plugin developer, maybe they can help you out with that issue.
Have a nice day!
