How It Works

WordPress uses a pseudo-cron system called WP-Cron. Unlike system cron jobs that run at exact times, WP-Cron relies on page visits to trigger tasks.

This plugin hooks into WordPress using the internal _get_cron_array() function to retrieve the raw list of scheduled events and presents them in a clean, readable table format with helpful status indicators and timezone-aware timestamps.
