Is FastCron – Run WP Cron for free Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100FastCron – Run WP Cron for free has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The static analysis of the fastcron v1.0.1 plugin reveals a very limited attack surface and generally good coding practices. There are no identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events, meaning there are no direct entry points into the plugin's code. Furthermore, the code demonstrates a strong adherence to security by using prepared statements for all SQL queries and properly escaping all outputs. The absence of file operations and external HTTP requests also reduces potential risk vectors.
Key Concerns
- No nonce checks
- No capability checks
- External HTTP requests present
