Build a cron expression without guesswork: pick a template or set the five fields yourself — the tool shows the expression live and explains in plain language when it runs. Works for crontab, WP-Cron, n8n and any scheduler.
0 3 * * *Daily at 03:00.
Fields: minute hour day-of-month month weekday. Allowed: number, * (any), lists (1,15), ranges (1-5), steps (*/5). Note: WP-Cron only runs on page visits — for exact timing set up a real server cron job (via WP-CLI or crontab).
Five space-separated fields that define a schedule: minute, hour, day of month, month and weekday. An asterisk (*) means “any value”.
Left to right: minute (0–59), hour (0–23), day of month (1–31), month (1–12), weekday (0–6, where 0 and 7 are Sunday). So “0 3 * * *” means daily at 03:00.
A step value: every 5 units. “*/5” in the minute field means every 5 minutes. There are also lists (1,15), ranges (1-5) and combinations.
WP-Cron isn't a real scheduler: it only runs when someone visits the site. With little traffic, tasks are delayed; with lots of traffic it costs performance. For reliable timing, disable WP-Cron (DISABLE_WP_CRON) and set up a real server cron job (crontab or WP-CLI).
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser — no server endpoint, nothing transmitted or stored.
