6 different Cron Jobs

    Hi,

    I have only enabled Jetpack Stats – all other modules are deactivated! But I can see in the list of my cron jobs, that Jetpack have 5 entries!

    jetpack_sync_cron – Every 5 minutes
    jetpack_sync_full_cron – Every 5 minutes
    jetpack_scan_refresh_states_event – Single event
    jetpack_clean_nonces – once a hour
    jetpack_v2_heartbeat – Once a day
    jp_purge_transients_cron – Once a day

    Are all these cron jobs really necessary? Especially if you really only want to use the wordpress stats?

    If not, how can I optimize this or disable the cron jobs?

    Hi there

    Jetpack Stats work by syncing your site’s data to WordPress.com, so these cron jobs are all necessary for stats to work, although you are free to customize the intervals if you wish.

    You can adjust cron schedules using WP Crontrol or similar.

    Hi Dan,

    I know this option via WP Control. But does really all 6 cron jobs have to be enabled to just get the stats?

    And what are the effects of setting jetpack_sync_full_cron to once a day, for example?

    Hi @michaelxxx

    Sync is needed, even for stats, to send data back to WordPress.com so we know what post matches each post ID.

    All of the cron jobs are needed, really. Some of them are not strictly sync related, but they’re useful nonetheless; they’re cleanup jobs and the heartbeat job sends overall data about the site, so useful as well.

    OK

    >You can adjust cron schedules using WP Crontrol or similar.
    And what max. time settings would you recommend?

    We recommend the default intervals.

    If you want to change them, it just depends how up to date you want your data to be. e.g. if you change jetpack_sync_full_cron to once a day, your stats and other site data will always be up to 24 hours out of date.
