Headless WordPress experiences? (part 2)

After juggling a dozen WP sites for clients, I have opinions on pretty much everything WordPress.

wp-cron only fires on page views, so low-traffic sites should switch to system cron.

Any tips, experiences or strong opinions welcome.

System cron fixed my missed scheduled posts too.

I cap client sites at 15 plugins, anything above that needs justification.

Transient cleanup shaved 200MB off one of my databases.

Bumping this because I ran into the same thing today.

Managed hosting saves me enough time to be worth the markup.

I disagree slightly, but I can see where you are coming from.

Thanks for sharing, saved me a lot of time.
