Frequently Asked Questions

What is a UUID?

A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit identifier formatted as 8-4-4-4-12 hex characters (e.g., 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000). UUID v4 is randomly generated; v7 is time-ordered for database performance.

What is a cron expression?

A cron expression is a string with 5–6 fields defining a schedule: minute, hour, day-of-month, month, day-of-week. For example, 0 9 * * 1 runs at 9 AM every Monday. Use our Cron Generator to build and validate expressions visually.

What is a Unix timestamp?

A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC (the Unix epoch). It's timezone-independent and used in programming for consistent date/time storage. 1700000000 is November 14, 2023, 22:13:20 UTC.

What is a URL slug?

A URL slug is the human-readable part of a URL that identifies a page. It's typically lowercase, hyphenated, and stripped of special characters. For example, 'My Article Title!' becomes 'my-article-title'. Good slugs improve SEO and readability.
