Don't wait for PHP function to finish execution
AJAX calls a script which could return answer almost immediately, but it hangs for 700-500ms (depends) on updating relevant statistics etc. Could I just trigger function with these statistics and not wait for execution to finish and answer AJAX right away?
I would do it as queue job. But it's manager VPS without SSH. I can't install a supervisor to make queue jobs work as I usually do.

can you run cron? You can use cron to service your queue.

@andyandy Have a cronjob that does the statistics crunching how often you need it to, and put the results into a cache when it’s done. Then have your AJAX endpoint read the results from the cache; it should have the most up-to-date statistics and return a response pretty quickly.
