Edit : This is the exact message from wp crontrol : There was a problem spawning a call to the WP-Cron system on your site. This means WP-Cron events on your site may not work. The problem was: Unexpected HTTP response code: 403 ---

In collaboration with iFastNet, we have determined that a large number of cron jobs were running a very frequently on invalid URLs, or sites that were not actively being used. This resulted in a lot of server power being spent on cron jobs that didn’t work, or were running on sites that were not actively being used. This had gotten so bad that some cron jobs dramatically overloaded some servers causing performance degradation … ---

Essential or not, as long as it is cron, it cannot run. Unless of course, you trigger it manually by visiting the pages. ---

The default wp-cron should just work. WordPress just triggers the cron actions in the background while viewing pages. A health check that checks whether the cron endpoint is reachable will fail because of [this security system](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/ensuring-only-web-browsers-can-access-your-website/49353), but that should not impact regular cron functionality. As long as you did not disable the default cron functionality, either through settings or plugins, it should just work. ---

It’s definitely not good for your site if the past-due actions pile up. I did a bit of Googling, and to be clear, “Action Scheduler” is NOT part of WordPress itself. It’s an additional component that’s used by some plugins for background tasks, notably WooCommerce. It does rely on WP-Cron, but it’s not part of it. One of the sites I read suggested installing the [WP Crontrol](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-crontrol/) plugin to get more insight into cron tasks that are scheduled. A few pending jobs are fine, but if the cron backlog is really not moving along, then that’s an issue. ---

Yes the list is piling up, ![cron](https://forum-cdn.infinityfree.net/original/3X/4/c/4ce7ae75adc48eab69c2ee887e14fb63c36481fb.jpeg) and the fun part is when i run the crons manually or via a plugin like wp crontrol, the list does not Diminich, the crons reappears, i realy dont see how to fix that thing ---
