    Is it possible to deactivate or even delete the WP Control plugin after setting a cron job so I have less plugins running which may slow down the site?

    Yes, as long as you’ve used one of the default schedules (such as daily). If you’ve added a custom schedule any event that uses it will run once more but won’t repeat after that.

    As an FYI, the WP Crontrol plugin is very lightweight and its impact on your site’s loading time will be negligible, probably a few milliseconds. But I totally get wanting to minimise the number of plugins on your site.

    It would be great if setting a cronjob could be part of core WP settings. The amount of plugins which has to be used for a bit more complex websites is crazy. One “lightweight” plugin her, another there and Google is telling you the site is too slow.
    There are some developers out there they tell me keep the fingers from WordPress the sites are too slow even only with the basic version. So I rather want to keep the number of plugins as low as possible.

    If your requirements are straight forward, you can use WP-CLI to manage cron events too (via the wp cron command) but it doesn’t show you as much information as WP Crontrol does.
