    Hi Otto,

    Thank you so much! It’s getting clearer and clearer.

    Just so that I get all this down pat, is this ‘fictitious’
    scenario correct?

    ————————————–
    Assuming I made 2 post, one at 9:50pm and another at 9:57pm
    BUT nobody (not even myself) browse the site or reload the page.

    Then, at 10:02pm, somebody visited the blog, and thus trigged the wp-cron.

    The wp-cron will then “publish” those 2 post immediately, and send out only ONE ping to tell those update services that this blog has been updated.
    ————————————–

    Correct?

    Many, many thanks!

    Hi Otto,

    Thanks, that makes it very clear.

    I suppose when a new post is made, it has some kind of ‘status flag’ set – and when the site (example.com) is viewed, the ‘wp-cron’ will check for posts with that flag set.

    If found, then it will send the “ping” ?

    Sorry for the layman way of describing … is it something like that?

    Thanks for your time Otto.

    Hi Otto,

    Many thanks for replying. Now I’m even more confused 🙂

    When I make a post (via the write –> post in WP admin), it won’t ping the update service?

    The ping will only be sent after someone has viewed that new page/post?

    Thanks,
    xw
