Cron Logger

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 74% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   This is a must have tool when troubleshooting issues on WP sites where things aren’t running as scheduled. Helpful for monitoring in general. The logs’ table size in the database was a problem, but after feedback, the author added a Cleanup button in v1.3.x to fix. Much appreciated.

   I just installed this, and my first impression is that it does what it is supposed to do. I have my cron running from the server level, and they were logged. The thing that prevented me from giving this 5 stars is that I would prefer to receive the cron reports via email without the need to log into the site and pull up the cron logger tool.

   I decided to turn off CRON and schedule it myself with Cron Jobs to reduce the number of cron invocations. Then of course you want to know that the various scheduled cron activities are taking place. This plugin tells you exactly what is going on. Very useful.

   Thanks for this. It captures the results of WP Crons perfectly even when triggered from Cpanel Cron jobs.
