Both URL-based Reset Runner systems are available in the Free Plugin version and Pro version. Therefore, we strongly advise you to use the Free version to determine which Reset Runner system and external trigger source works best for your WordPress website. Different websites have different internal and external setups, firewalls, and CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) that may block external triggers.
WordPress cron is a pseudo-cron system that triggers when a page is loaded. Therefore, it is unreliable for triggering a robust (consistent) Website Reset Process without running into numerous issues. For this reason, the trigger must come from outside the WordPress system. Demo Reset provides highly secure reset trigger mechanisms via Reset Runners to address this problem.
Yes, they are created with a unique randomly generated 15-character token, making them highly secure. Once created, a Reset Runner should always be kept confidential.
Caching plugins prevent the proper execution of URL-based Reset Runners, so you must turn off caching on your demo website or disable the caching plugin. Also, be aware of server-level caching mechanisms; if they prevent Reset Runners from executing, please disable them. Based on our current testing, CDN caching (Cloudflare caching) does not block Reset Runners unless restricted by CDN firewalls.
