Strange wp-cron cycle time with Jetpack

    Good afternoon,
    I need help with my e-commerce (single site) on which I have installed Jetpack Free.
    My hosting keeps telling me about an overuse of php workers caused by Jetpack’s wp-cron cycles (they start every 5 minutes). Click here to see my hosting’s report about this problem.

    This is very strange, Jetpack has been running for a long time and has never given any problems. On the contrary, analysing our other e-commerce (based on multisite), the Jetpack wp-cron cycles are set to 1 day. Here the same report’s on our “less hungry” multisite e-commerce.
    Both websites are based on Woocommerce with same structure.

    How can I resolve this excessive use of resources?
    Thanks for your help

    Hi there

    It’s normal for those jobs to run every five minutes to keep your site in sync. You can read more about this here:

    Having checked your site, it doesn’t appear to have a working Jetpack connection currently. Would you please disconnect and then reconnect Jetpack? You can follow these instructions to do that:

    Hi Dan and thanks for your reply,
    I deactivated Jetpack this morning because the site had slowed down so much and was unable to receive orders.

    My hosting company claims that Jetpack makes the 4 php workers on the site work too hard.

    On the other hand, our other e-commerce based on a multisite does not have the same problem. Why? It doesn’t even seem to cycle for 5 minutes.

    Thanks for your help

    Hi @cleanoop

    Is your site hosted with Kinsta? If so, that response is a little odd, as they talk about using Jetpack on your site here:

    https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/wordpress-jetpack/

    Did they say specifically what jobs are causing the site to slow down so much? In the Summary section of the above article they do mention a few areas you may want to tweak in regards to Jetpack settings vs alternatives.
