Reliable WP-Cron, without the babysitting.

Cron Online pings your WordPress site on a schedule so the cron jobs you depend on actually run. Email and Slack alerts when a site stops responding. Free, no plugin required.

Start pinging — it's free Check my cron first

No credit card. No plugin install. No paid tier.

External pinging

We hit wp-cron.php every 1, 5, or 15 minutes — whichever schedule you pick — so your scheduled tasks actually fire.

Alerts when it breaks

After 3 consecutive ping failures we email you and post to your Slack webhook. You find out before your users do.

No plugin install

Paste your site URL. We recommend adding one line to wp-config.php to disable WP-Cron — that's it.

The honest fine print

- Free, full stop. No paid tier, no trial, no upsell.
- No execution visibility. We ping wp-cron.php; we don't tell you what individual events ran. Use wp-cli for that.
- You manage WP-Cron yourself. Set define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true); in wp-config.php so our pings are the only thing firing your tasks. See the guide.
- Best effort. Built and run by one person. If it goes down, it goes down. Tell me if it does.
