WP-Cron is not a scheduler. It is a queue checked when somebody visits your site, which explains every scheduled post that never published and every backup that silently stopped running.

Core stock control is a number that goes down when an order is placed. Everything that makes inventory hard — variations, bundles, multiple channels, returns — is what happens around that number.

Elementor
The free plugin builds pages. The paid tier builds the parts of a site that repeat — headers, footers, archive templates, single-post layouts — and that is the line that decides whether you need it.
