A PHP library for WordPress that enables non-blocking asynchronous requests and queued background task processing. It lets plugin and theme developers offload slow operations like emails or bulk updates to background workers with automatic health checks and queue restarts.

Use cases

• run slow tasks in the background in a wordpress plugin
• send emails asynchronously from wordpress
• queue and process bulk tasks without blocking page loads
• process large imports in batches in wordpress
• offload slow operations from wordpress requests

When to choose

• you are building a WordPress plugin or theme that needs background job processing
• you need a lightweight, dependency-free task queue inside WordPress
• you want non-blocking one-off async requests for slow operations

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose job queue outside of WordPress
• you require durable distributed queues with advanced features like retries, priorities, or multiple workers
• your project is not PHP or does not run on WordPress
