Core Features

• Free to use with no license key or paid plan required
• Works with Joomla's native Scheduled Tasks system
• Uses Joomla WebCron for remote scheduler wake-ups
• Registers the site's actual Joomla WebCron endpoint with the QuantaCade Task Nudge service
• Uses the site's registered HTTP or HTTPS origin without forcing a different scheme
• Schedule wake-ups around when Joomla Scheduled Tasks are actually due
• Avoid unnecessary fixed-interval polling while no scheduled work needs attention
• Temporarily increase wake-up frequency when Joomla reports that scheduled work is still running or will resume
• Help resumable and multi-step Scheduled Tasks continue processing until Joomla has an opportunity to finish them
• Use normal frontend site traffic as a lightweight same-site heartbeat and scheduler-assist signal
• Automatically keep Task Nudge registration and scheduler information current
• View scheduler health from a dedicated administrator Dashboard
• Review recent Task Nudge and scheduler activity
• See when the scheduler was idle, nudged, running, resumed, or completed work
• Review QuantaCade Task Nudge service and registration status
• Test the site's connection to the Task Nudge service
• Check Joomla WebCron readiness and scheduler configuration
• Diagnose common Scheduled Tasks, WebCron, registration, and service problems
• Detect stale or missing Task Nudge registrations
• Automatically restore service registration after stale records are removed or expire
• Repair service credentials and registration information after a Joomla site restore
• Protect installation identity when a Joomla site is cloned or migrated
• Prevent a copied site from unintentionally continuing to operate as the original Task Nudge installation
• Keep multiple Joomla installations separate using their own site identity and installation UUID
• Detect and report repaired scheduler lock conditions when applicable
• Provide scheduler health, reports, history, configuration, diagnostics, and service information from one administrator component
• Use the QuantaCade service only to assist Joomla's scheduler rather than replacing Joomla Scheduled Tasks
• Keep actual Scheduled Task execution inside Joomla
• Automatically adjust remote wake-up activity based on scheduler state instead of continuously crawling or polling the Joomla site

Safety First

QC Task Nudge & Health is designed to assist Joomla's existing scheduler rather than creating a separate remote task-execution system. Scheduled Tasks remain defined, controlled, and executed by Joomla. The QuantaCade Task Nudge service stores the site's registered WebCron information and calls Joomla's WebCron endpoint when a scheduler wake-up is needed.

Task Nudge uses schedule-aware timing so sites are not contacted unnecessarily when nothing is due. When Joomla reports that work is still running or is expected to resume, QCTNH can temporarily request additional wake-ups to help the scheduler continue processing. Normal frontend traffic can also provide lightweight same-site heartbeat information without exposing an additional public task-execution interface.

Installation identity and registration safeguards help protect sites after restores, cloning, and migrations. QCTNH can detect stale registrations, restore missing service registration when appropriate, repair stored service information, and keep separate Joomla installations from unintentionally sharing the same Task Nudge identity.

The administrator Health and Diagnostics tools provide visibility into scheduler condition, WebCron readiness, service communication, recent activity, registration state, and detected recovery actions so administrators can see whether Task Nudge is operating normally and investigate problems without guessing.
