Hey guys,
I have setup cron jobs for my site, although admittedly I get a bit impatient and would like e-mails sent out closer to realtime than every 5 min.
What I would like to know is why is sending them on page load bad? Does it slow down the site in general?
Would setting cron jobs to smaller intervals be better than page load? Or should I really just leave it at 5min and no page load?
This is not a high priority question, I just want to understand the pros and cons of each option better to make an educated decision.
