I have a client site that I need to use a cron job on. I was able to do it without a problem but I had a question about load times. If I add a cron job to call a specific URL that is setup to sync 2 database I dont want to put it on a high traffic page if doing that will not load the rest of the content until the cron job has finished. So I guess my question is if I put an EE cron job in a template is the rest of the template rendered before the cron job has been completed. If that is not the case I will create an actual cron job on the server and avoid the slow load times.

Justin,

as far as I know it only triggers the cron job and does not interfere with the rendering flow of the page.
Did you come across a decrease in page load time?

Thanks for the reply. I was testing the cron job whileI was at the airport so the internet there might have been what was effecting the speed because it appears to be loading just fine now.

Good deal, Justin. Let us know if anything else crops up.
