Biggest opportunity: “cron”, “cron cleaner” and “cron control” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active

At least 100 of 9.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

  • Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.5.24.

    I was having cron issues and this was the plugin that fixed it. It even tells you if the cron is missing or not. Great job – thank you for the excellent plugin.

    An excellent plugin if you want to have a quick look at the WordPress cron queue. Easy reschedule, delete and even a mass delete of all active crons.

    This simple plugin provides a clear overview of WP cron tasks. Great for troubleshooting. I would only activate it when I need it.
