Answer 1

You missed the & character to put the process in the background :

#!/bin/bash
while true
do
 /home/user/public_html/website.com/test.php &
 sleep 5
done

Ensure your script is eXecutable :

chmod +x /home/user/public_html/website.com/test.php

but to combine cron and this script, there's one way :

@reboot /path/to/script.sh

because you need only one instance of your script.

If you cron doesn't support @reboot, another possibility is to add a line in /etc/rc.local
