If you want to trigger the WP Cron without having to wait for a visitor to visit your website, you can setup a cronjob to “visit” your cron file at http://www.example.com/wp-cron.php after a duration, like every 15 minutes.
If you use cPanel, you can follow this guide
If your server does not support cron job, you can use service like Easy Crone. I think their free membership is good enough for a website. They also provide a guide on how to setup real cron job for WordPress here. Just one thing that you need to renew your Free plan every month.
If you use another type of hosting, let me know so I can help.
