It simply schedules and triggers processes like product imports, plugin upgrades, etc. through crons.

Wait for a second, you probably have cron scheduling ability on your hosting for free. So why use Cron Runner?

Why use Cron Runner

If you trigger imports of products more often, your SEO could benefit. Sometimes a lot, see case-study below. Common hostings usually have pretty limited cron options.

In the Cron Runner, you can run crons for more websites and pay just for one. You’ll have crons for all your websites in one place.
