wp cron event run --due-now --path=/var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs

Processes all due WP-Cron events, independent of page visits. For low-traffic sites or with define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true); in wp-config.php, this is the reliable alternative to the built-in pseudo cron. In Plesk, the command can be set up as a scheduled task of the subscription user every 5 to 15 minutes.

Note: The events run plugin code, for example newsletter sending or order synchronization.
