**Your problem**  
My problem is: queue of 700 messages takes 1 hour to send.

Steps I have tried to fix the problem:

I’m using the following crontab script from Joey Keller:

- 
  - 
    - 
      - 
        - /bin/bash /usr/local/bin/mauticcrons.sh

if [-z “$(ls -A /var/www/mautic/var/spool)”]; then

```
    php $MAUTICCONSOLE mautic:broadcasts:send --limit=50
    php $MAUTICCONSOLE mautic:campaigns:rebuild --batch-limit=300
    php $MAUTICCONSOLE mautic:segment:update --batch-limit=900
    php $MAUTICCONSOLE mautic:campaigns:trigger
    php $MAUTICCONSOLE mautic:import --limit=500
    php $MAUTICCONSOLE mautic:webhooks:process
    php $MAUTICCONSOLE mautic:reports:scheduler
    php $MAUTICCONSOLE mautic:maintenance:cleanup --days-old=365

```

else  
php $MAUTICCONSOLE mautic:broadcasts:send --limit=200  
php $MAUTICCONSOLE mautic:emails:send --message-limit=200
