TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for site owners who need reliable control over when WordPress cron jobs run, especially on low-traffic sites or sites prone to race conditions. It solves the problem of infrequent or duplicate wp-cron execution by using a secret parameter to gate cron job runs.
