Easycron

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 · 100% 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.

   Though the plugin does not seem to work with WordPress 4.7.3 I was easily able to configure everything on the EasyCron website. I was having a problem in which wp-cron would not run. I installed wp-crontrol and find this message: “There was a problem spawning a call to the WP-Cron system on your site. This means WP-Cron events on your site may not work. The problem was: Unexpected HTTP response code: 403” Using EasyCron and wp-crontrol together I was able to figure out that one of the hooks was locking things up (and with a bit more research also found there is an Apache problem on my site). EasyCron really helped get me out of a bind and for $7.95 I know the cron will be run for a year (and if not I will know about it!) Thank you to the folks the created this great system! Sue

   The plugin helps quickly manage an external cron job that will tigger WordPress’ wp-cron.php. No WP Cron System anymore! Use EasyCron!
