Feeds Not Running via CRON - Next Update Showing 'ASAP' Only | Freeware Plugins | Support Forum

Hello Admin,

Sure, I went to the CyberSEO settings, copied the URL (the http one with /?pull-feeds=bla-bla-bla parameter) and now all the feeds are showing a ‘time’ under Next Udpate (and the “ASAP” is gone), for example:

Feed title      URL     Next update      Last update
feed1           xxx1      60 Min            0 Min
feed2           xxx2      60 Min            0 Min

etc…

7 new items are now scheduled.

Hello Admin,

The CRON does email me. Is there some log or something for CRON i can check (a text file showing print out) when it emails me the results showing what the issue is?

Hello Admin,

My SEO host is very cooperative and wants to help but what do I tell them other than cron not working (as this appears to be)? How do they know what to look for with CyberSEO..? database? log files? server stats?

Here is their response:

“we are checking your databases, but we can not investigate issue thoroly. so please get back to us as soon as you get any update from your developer, so we combinely can investigate it. your cooperation is appreciated.”

If you could please advise me what I should ask of them to check why CyberSEO is not working I will gladly do this.. I need your guidance here… can you please help?

Sincerely,

Hello Admin,

I’m not sure I understand exactly what you mean, and I need a bit of clarification;

1) “Just ask the why the URL you opened in the browser (the one which is used to update the feeds)..”

   -you mean ask my host why the URL opened in the browser?

 2) “get pinged by cron via curl.” 

     -you mean ask my host why this gets pinged by cron via cURL?             

3) “Why can’t you just give your crontab line to your host?”

    -you mean ask my host to test the crontab line themselves directly?

Hello Admin,

I believe the CRON is working because it emails me the result/URL. Earlier this month when I set up 2-3 sites the RSS feeds were running fine via CRON. But after migrating over 20 sites the feeds stopped running, meaning shows ASAP only, but the CRON is still running because i still receive the CRON email notification.

I have asked my host for help, however, received no reply. Without a specific log or some specific server cpu parameter this does not appear to be a good option. The CRON appears to be running as I receive the email notifications. I believe the issue is running multiple CyberSEO WP sites is server performance related, resources on the 'shared' server cannot handle this amount of activity.

Have you ever 'Performance Tested' the CyberSEO product with example; 10 -15 WP sites & each running 5-10 rss feeds concurrently?

I've since removed the CRON jobs from my host, and set up the URL in a paid external CRON application that calls the URL externally, which seems to work.

*******************************************************************************************

I defer to a newer thread (limit RSS Feeds) where I've asked to 'distribute' RSS feed run times so all don't run at the SAME TIME. This is what I'm seeing on every CyberSEO site I set up.

By 'staggering' RSS feed run times (specifying a 'different' run time interval for each RSS feed) will have a VERY beneficial impact on how host/server resources are consumed and help distribute posts for improved SEO purposes. I urge you to please consider this.. please.

CyberSEO is a great product.. why not improve it that much more? thanks!!!
