How To Monitor BetterShield Scheduled Work?
See when BetterShield checks, reports and housekeeping tasks last ran, when they run next and whether WordPress scheduling is behind.
With BetterShield Ultra, see when BetterShield checks, reports and housekeeping tasks last ran, when they run next and whether WordPress scheduling is behind.
Note: These controls require the paid BetterShield Ultra add-on alongside the free BetterShield plugin.
What it does
BetterShield › Ultra › Scheduled tasks lists BetterShield and Ultra checks, reports and housekeeping tasks. It shows how often each runs, its last result and its next scheduled time.
Step 1: Monitor BetterShield Scheduled Work
There are no settings. Open BetterShield › Ultra › Scheduled tasks and review the Scheduled work table.
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Task | The name of the check, report or housekeeping job. |
| How often | The recurrence WordPress uses. |
| Last ran | The last completion, a run in progress, an unfinished run, or Not run yet. |
| Next run | The next scheduled time, or Not on the schedule. |
The card badge reads Running or Behind. It changes no schedule on its own.
Recommended settings
Check this screen after moving a site, changing its task runner or noticing a late report. A site should receive regular traffic or use a server task that calls WordPress scheduled events reliably.
What it can break and how to undo
Opening this screen changes nothing. If scheduled work is behind, fix the site’s WordPress cron or server task. Do not repeatedly run expensive checks while diagnosing the scheduler.
Final Outcome
The badge reads Running, recent tasks show completed times, and each recurring task has a future time under Next run. A Behind warning means scheduled work has stopped running and includes a link to WordPress Site Health information.
A connected assistant that can read Ultra’s settings can read this same table, 25 tasks at a time, with each task’s last result and next due time. It cannot press Run now.
On multisite
The table shows the scheduled work available for the current site or network context.
