Key Features

WP-Cron runs silently in the background, which makes it hard to know what's actually scheduled or why a task didn't fire. Cron Viewer puts all of that directly into your WordPress admin, with the detail you need to debug it.

Dashboard Integration

Adds a dedicated 'Cron Viewer' page to your WordPress admin menu for easy access.

Complete Task Overview

Lists all pending WP-Cron events with detailed information about each task.

Detailed Information

Shows hook names, arguments, next execution time, and recurrence schedules.

Timezone Aware

Status Indicators

Lightweight & Fast

Minimal footprint with no impact on site performance.
