Hey, I have disabled wp-cron on my site and do everything with EasyCron (externally) so I’m not using too much of my shared host resources.
\- My site has \~15 rss feeds that run in 1 minute intervals. There are 10 more that only run every 10min-1hours.
When I check in Wp Crontrol, a lot of them say “now” under time. I’m guessing it’s because those 1 minute intervals are basically always running right, and not because it’s a bad thing and they are stuck. Even though I have disabled wp-cron, is 1 minute perhaps too fast or maybe messing up my host->site performance?
90% of the time my rss feeds that run on cron don’t import any posts, and rarely is there more than 1 simultaneous post per \~5 minutes. When they import posts, it’s all done in 10-30 seconds max. My PHP is 256M and my time limit is 120s.
I don’t know how to check whether I’m doing too much with so many cron jobs that are always running, and if I’m perhaps slowing down my website more than necessary.

I use easy cron too. It’s nice.
Personality, I found 5 minutes to work well but you can try one minute.
First not all tasks are the same. Some might be light weight and other a big more resources.
Second, just because easy cron is off server, the tasks are still on server.
Ensure that each execution of your cron job completes within the interval. If a job takes longer than a minute to run but is scheduled every minute, it could lead to overlapping executions and issues.
Might be smart to test one minute but it might be too often.
Hope that helps
It should be fine.
Set then hourly I’d say.
It is fine i guess, but i would prefer queue system for that kind of interval
