[Plugin: DB Cache Reloaded Fix] Cron Overload

  • The cron event this plugin creates overloaded the cron schedule and drastically spiked our server load.

    I only had this plugin installed for a few days and removed it after not seeing much of a different with our database load. I then noticed a spike of CPU usage on our server, and noted it was coming from our cron files (I run a multisite). This was because of 100+ instances of an hourly event. Here is the line of code I noted as being the cause.

    add_action(‘clean_cache_event’, array(&$this, ‘hourly_clean’));

    This is being run way too many times, and not removed during uninstall. At the very least this needs to be changed to a one-off event if it is going to keep adding to the site.

  • Hi all,
    I installed this plugin and I have same issue: a lot of cron jobs “clean_cache_event”.
    How can I fix?

    I would love for this issue to be fixed / changed. I found with my personal site that using this plugin + cloudflare gives me awesome results (load time usually <= 1s), but I do not want to tax my shared server. I also would really like to implement this into my universities network, but being they are a multi-site install I would not try it until these cron issues are taken care of.

    Thank you!

    Here is a function to remove the clean cache event:

    function wpse39681_clear_all_crons( $hook ) {
    $crons = _get_cron_array();
    if ( empty( $crons ) ) {
        return;
    }
    foreach( $crons as $timestamp => $cron ) {
        if ( ! empty( $cron[$hook] ) )  {
            unset( $crons[$timestamp][$hook] );
        }
    }
    _set_cron_array( $crons );
}

    here is the fix: https://github.com/ivankristianto/DB-Cache-Reloaded-Fix/commit/8a3ed0fcfc85f94e06642c8c58c3a104f1b25634
