WP Cron Cleaner

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.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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 pro version is not expensive and can be used on multiple websites… Be careful before deleting cron jobs that run, while the plugins are uninstalled. The plugins names is clearly visible. useful for me

   You need to purchase “pro” version to do the basic functions. Useless plugin.

   Waste of time! It shows you the cron jobs, and you can delete them, but it won’t tell you what plugin they are associated with. If you want anything more than to simply view crons, then you have to purchase the premium version. The plugin WP Control does everything the free version of this plugin does, plus shows you what plugin/theme/etc. the cron event is associated with. This plugin is no more than a schill to purchase the pro version.

   This was not helpful in clearing old WordPress chrons that were being reported as “scheduled tasks which are overdue”. That was all I needed it for, to be able to even see them I was being asked to purchase Premium, even though it was inexpensive at $8USD I did not feel justified to purchase.

   Even the Free version allows you to delete Crons, and the Pro version allows you to see who (what plugin or theme or whatever) is triggering the Crons (very useful).

   Bought the plugin a couple of weeks ago, can’t manage to activate it and wrote to the support team twice without any feedback, shame. This topic was modified 8 years, 1 month ago by Steven.
