Readme github.com/jimmy-is-me/wp-cron-cleanup-panel ↗

A lightweight WordPress MU-Plugin that adds a dedicated admin panel for inspecting and deleting WP-Cron events and Action Scheduler jobs — with memory usage tracking, CPU/RAM pressure analysis, stuck/looping job detection, large option detection, and large file scanning.

Features

Feature Description
⏰ WP-Cron Inspector List WP-Cron events; can switch between target-only and all hooks
📋 Action Scheduler Inspector List Action Scheduler jobs; supports manual single delete and can switch between target-only and all hooks
🗑 Delete All Bulk delete target matched jobs only
🔥 CPU / RAM Pressure Analysis Autoload total, AS hotspots, stuck jobs, repeatedly failing jobs, WP-Cron overdue summary
🗃 Large Options Shows only options larger than 1 MB, top 10
📁 Large Files Scans uploads/plugins/themes for files > 5 MB, full path, top 20

Important behavior

  • Delete All Matched Jobs only deletes hooks matching:
private array $targets = [ 'thumbpress', 'image-sizes', 'optimize_img' ];
  • The list views can now switch to show all hooks, not just targets.
  • Manual delete works for both single WP-Cron and single Action Scheduler rows.
  • WP-Cron Overdue summary only shows hooks overdue for more than 7 days.
  • Large Options only shows rows over 1 MB, maximum 10 entries.
