Moves a website’s chores off the moment a visitor is waiting for a page.

WordPress background jobs, moved off your visitors’ wait time — with priority lanes that protect checkout.
Websites have chores — tidying up, sending emails, checking for updates. WordPress does its chores while a visitor is standing at the door, so the visitor waits for the tidying to finish before they can come in.
SwiftQueue sends the chores out the back door instead. Visitors get in straight away, and the important chores (like taking someone’s money) always jump the queue.
Replaces WP-Cron’s inline execution with a loopback-spawned background request, plus priority lanes, locking, dead-letter alerting, Action Scheduler awareness and WooCommerce checkout protection. Adaptive throttling backs housekeeping off under load with a bounded release valve.
296 assertions ✓ 6 real bugs found & fixed 62 → 55 queries/request
Four of the six bugs meant advertised features had never worked on any site — including background cron itself, which reported success while processing nothing. All were found by running against a live WordPress install, not by reading code.
The competition schedules tasks. SwiftQueue is built around the reliability question nobody answers — what happens when the loopback fails, when two requests collide, when a stalled queue starts paging you every five minutes. The failure modes are the product.
