Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about CronVitals – WP-Cron Monitoring & Failure Alerts

No. Nothing runs on the front end. The monitoring adds two no-op hook callbacks per cron job during wp-cron.php requests, plus one scan every five minutes. Log writes are one row per cron run.

A cron manager lets you view, add, edit, and run events. CronVitals doesn't manage your events — it watches them over time, records every run, catches the PHP errors that kill them, and alerts you. They solve different problems and many sites run both.

Yes, and a real system cron gives you more accurate timing. CronVitals records runs however wp-cron.php is triggered, and the missed-job scan works either way.

Deactivating only unschedules the plugin's own events — your log history and settings stay, so reactivating picks up where it left off. Uninstalling drops the log table and deletes every option and transient it created.

No. The free plugin works fully on activation with no account, no API key, and no signup prompt — it runs in anonymous mode and contacts nothing. A license is only needed for the Pro features.

The free version sends nothing. Pro contacts Freemius to validate your license and deliver updates, and — only if you turn it on and supply a URL — sends a periodic ping to the external monitor you chose. Job names, logs, and error messages never leave your database.

Yes, with the Pro external heartbeat. Because the alert comes from an outside monitor that expects a regular ping from your site, it fires even when WordPress itself can't run.

WooCommerce runs most background work through Action Scheduler, which is a separate queue from WP-Cron. Pro monitors that queue, including stalled-queue detection. Free monitors the WP-Cron events WooCommerce registers.
