Hi,

I have received a notification for one of my websites hosted on shared hosting that wp-cron.php is consuming high resources on the server. I have also noticed that wp-cron.php process is running each time I access any pages on the website.

How can I disable wp-cron.php and why it is being called on each page access?

Thanks!

Hello,

This is WordPress virtual cron and this is useful to automate certain task. If you are not using any scheduled tasks, you can disable this using wp-config.php file and manually set a cron to execute at regular interval.

For step-by-step instruction, you can refer our following KB:
