Warm Schedule Windows

Run warming when it helps most—and pause when it should not.

Not every hour needs the same warming intensity. Schedule windows let you concentrate crawls before peak traffic, overnight catalog refreshes, or quieter hosting periods—without babysitting cron.

Highlights

• Define when warmers are allowed to run
• Align crawls with traffic peaks and off-peak capacity
• Reduce noise during maintenance windows
• Works with auto-start intervals on supported plans

Match warming to business rhythm

E-commerce may want aggressive warming before flash sales. Publishers may prefer pre-morning refreshes. Schedules encode that policy in the product.

Protect fragile windows

Pause or narrow activity during database migrations, flash origin incidents, or known low-capacity periods.

How it works

• Choose intervals: Set auto-start or enqueue cadence within plan limits.
• Apply windows: Restrict runs to preferred hours or days where supported.
• Monitor outcomes: Confirm health stays green when traffic arrives.

Use cases

• Retail peaks: Prewarm before lunch-hour and evening traffic.
• Newsrooms: Refresh overnight so morning readers hit warm pages.
• SaaS marketing: Warm campaign pages ahead of webinar start times.

FAQ

Are schedules available on free plans?

Advanced schedule windows are plan-gated. Basic intervals may still apply depending on entitlements.

Can I still trigger manual runs?

Yes. Manual starts and deploy triggers can complement scheduled warming.
