We build Cron Verdict and Link Verdict — two small plugins built around one idea: tell people the truth instead of crying wolf. This is where we write down what we learn along the way, in plain language.
Two plugins, one complaint that started both of them: WordPress tools that scream "broken" the moment something looks unusual, whether or not it actually is. Here's the actual story.
Read the story → WP-Cron explained"WP-Cron not running" is one of the most searched WordPress problems there is — and half the advice out there is chasing a bug that was never really there. Here's how it actually works.
Read the explainer → Broken links explainedYou click the "broken" link yourself and it opens just fine. You're not losing your mind — your checker probably got blocked by a firewall, and reported that as "the page is dead."
Read the explainer →Snagbane is a small WordPress plugin studio. Every plugin we ship follows the same rule: if it can't tell the difference between "actually broken" and "just looks unusual," it shouldn't report either one as a fact. That rule is also why this blog exists — most explainers about WP-Cron and broken links online are either wrong or years out of date.
