Yes, our VPS plans use a server-based cron that runs every three (3) minutes by default — with the ability to adjust this interval as needed.

If you have a theme and/or plugin that requires WP-Cron to run cron jobs for it, it will run here at Pagely — but instead of running every single time a page on your site loads (highly inefficient, etc.), it will run as often as every three minutes if it needs to — automatically.

Additionally, server cron jobs can be created via SSH with the crontab -e command, or by using WP-CLI.

And, if you are a WordPress theme or plugin developer, you can hook into the WordPress cron system with a custom function/plugin.

If you have a plugin that uses ActionScheduler, Pagely supports its use — there is nothing else to install or configure.

And we will install and configure WP-Minions / Gearman for you upon request.
