Server Requirements
URLsLab WordPress plugin strives to use minimal resources during webpage view request execution. Most of the data are pre-calculated by cron in the background (e.g. convert images to webp format). For optimal performance, we suggest setting up a system cron job on your server to perform these tasks in the background.
Though WordPress can run cron during the page view request execution, this is not the most efficient method for your website’s visitors.
