QC Task Nudge & Health

Install and orient QC Task Nudge & Health, understand what the free extension does, verify the current 2.0.3 installation, learn its administrator layout, and establish a safe first-use workflow for Joomla Scheduled Tasks and WebCron.

Understand Joomla Scheduled Tasks, native WebCron, task eligibility, due and overdue behavior, CLI-only exclusions, Schedule Runner requirements, and how QCTNH works with Joomla without replacing Joomla scheduler decisions.

Use the QCTNH Dashboard and current administrator controls, interpret service settings, run connection and WebCron checks, review scheduler information, and perform routine day-to-day administration safely.

Understand QCTNH service registration, external wake-ups, quiet-site scheduling, wake timing, scheduling intelligence, registration state, and how the external service prompts Joomla native WebCron opportunities.

Interpret QCTNH scheduler health, task activity, due and overdue conditions, running and stale locks, status indicators, timestamps, and evidence used to decide whether Joomla background task execution is healthy.

Maintain QCTNH through Joomla updates, use the About, Support and Status areas, gather useful diagnostic information, understand administrator permissions, and prepare effective support requests.

Handle QCTNH safely when cloning, migrating or restoring Joomla sites, understand installation identity and origin changes, avoid duplicate or stale service registrations, and verify operation after a move.

Understand QCTNH security and privacy boundaries, outbound and inbound network requirements, HTTPS and WebCron access, tokens and registration data, firewall considerations, and safe exposure of Joomla scheduler endpoints.

Diagnose and recover from QCTNH registration, connection, WebCron, task execution, stale-lock, scheduling, network, migration, and administrator-status problems using current 2.0.3 behavior and Joomla-native checks.

Use QCTNH reference material for current limits, terminology, advanced scheduler behavior, service boundaries, task-selection rules, operational assumptions, and implementation details that affect real administration decisions.
