C. Technical Information Regarding Scheduling

This plugin uses the WP-Cron functionality built into WordPress to schedule reports. By default, the scheduler is only triggered when someone visits your site. This means that low traffic sites may experience delays in reports being sent.

If you are experiencing delayed reports, you have two options:

Use a web-based scheduling service

Use a service such as cron-job.org or EasyCron to trigger the scheduler at regular intervals (e.g. every 15 minutes - not the same as your report's frequency). Specify the following URL to execute: [URL of your WordPress site]/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron

Create a cronjob on your server
