Hello Alan,

Hm, I am not really sure what 300,000 program and script executions are they referring to here. Does this mean that whenever a user visits your site, it is considered as 1 script execution? How do they actually calculate this?

But yeah, try to reduce the number of cron that is executed.

Hello Mark... no it's a new one to me too...
However Siteground do have some guidance... There are a couple of setting options in Easy Social System Preferences which might or might not have some bearing...appreciate your recommendations here..

The site is not over busy.. some 500/600 members..

regards
Alan

Hello Alan,

I am not too sure how to really identify this because based on my understanding, Siteground is rating each unique hit as an "execution". In other words, they are actually implying that the site is considered generating close to 300k hits?

What you can do is to convert your cronjobs to normal php scripts so that it doesn't go through the script's index.php file. For instance, you can edit the file /components/com_easysocial/cron.php and setup your cronjob to use php to execute this file rather than going through the website. Not sure if this would be considered as a hit or not though?

I realize this thread is from a couple years ago but siteground's "execution" definition is not just a unique visit, it's anytime a visitor accesses the index.php file as well as a variety of calls made by ES like messaging, log-in, calendar, etc..

Thanks for head up on this.
