    Hi @trainwithchelle

    Glad to hear that it worked. Yes, you wouldn’t need any additional setup to link the cron with your site.

    If the error messages are gone you can change your cron schedule to 30 minutes or higher to avoid hitting your server limits.

    Feel free to reopen the thread or create a new thread if you run into any issues.

    Thank you for creating with WordPress.

    @trainwithchelle in this case you have 2 options,

    1. You can migrate to a full hosting plan on ionos or any other hosting provider that gives you a good support (You can raise a ticket for the upgrade/migration)
    2. Or you can use any 3rd party cron scheduler like cron-job.org to hit the URL every 30 mins / 1 hour.

    In either cases the steps are the same.

    1. Click Create cronjob
    2. Give a name to your cronjob
    3. URL: https://go-nuyu.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron
    4. Request method: GET
    5. Schedule: Every 5 minutes (Until your action schedule backlog is cleared)
    6. In your site’s wp-config.php enter define(‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true);

    Hope this helps.

    As @franrival mentioned, the fact that restarting PHP temporarily improves the issue may point to a resource limit being reached. In some cases, this can also be related to a plugin or theme conflict.


    A few things came to mind

    • Have you already cleared all caches after removing the weather plugin, including WP Rocket’s cache?

    • Do you have access to your hosting control panel? If so, it may help to check whether CPU or memory usage increases around the time the site becomes slow.

    Low PHP memory limits can also contribute to this kind of behavior. If your hosting account allows it, you could try increasing the WordPress memory limit by adding the following line to wp-config.php: define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );

    A few other troubleshooting steps you could try:

    1. Install the Query Monitor plugin to check whether a specific plugin, theme, or database query is using an unusual amount of resources.
    2. Ask your hosting provider whether they can review server resource usage or provide slow query logs, which may help identify what is causing the slowdown.
    3. If you have not already done so, test with all plugins disabled except the essential ones, then re-enable them one by one to see whether the issue returns.

    Since the issue improves after a PHP restart, your hosting provider may also be able to check whether there are server-level limits or errors being triggered. I hope that helps narrow it down.

    Hi Michelle,

    You can set up a server cron job from your IONOS control panel.

    First, add the following line to your wp-config.php file:

    define( ‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true );

    Then log in to your hosting account and open the IONOS control panel. Look for Cronjobs and select Create cronjob. From there, you can create a new cron job that requests your site’s wp-cron.php file.

    Example URL: https://example.com/wp-cron.php

    Make sure to replace example.com with your actual domain name.

    If you are unsure about the exact cron syntax or interval to use in IONOS, their hosting support documentation may also help.
