Cron and Queue

Speedy does its work in Craft’s queue: clearing, rebuilding, warming and clearing your CDN. The page that saved content returns straight away.

The queue

By default, Craft runs queue jobs when someone has the control panel open. That’s fine for small sites. For busy ones, run the queue all the time instead:

php craft queue/listen

with Supervisor, systemd or your host’s worker setting, and set runQueueAutomatically to false in config/general.php.

Cron

Scheduled content (an entry going live at 9 am) is handled by a delayed queue job. For exact timing, add one line to cron too:

* * * * * php /path/to/craft speedy/expire > /dev/null 2>&1

It does nothing when nothing has expired.

Craft Cloud and managed hosts

Add php craft speedy/expire as a scheduled command, every minute or every five.
