Broken Link Checker

Broken Link Checker scans your WordPress content for broken links and missing images, helping you maintain a healthy site with working references. Dead links frustrate visitors, hurt SEO rankings, and make your site look neglected. The module crawls through your posts, pages, and custom post types checking every link and image URL. Results are presented in a clear report showing which links are broken, what pages they appear on, and the HTTP status code returned. You can fix or remove broken links directly from the report interface. Schedule regular scans to catch new broken links as external sites change over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a scan take?

Scan time depends on how many posts and links your site has. A site with 100 posts might take a few minutes, while larger sites with thousands of posts could take longer. Scans run in the background.

Does this check external links too?

Yes, the module checks both internal links to your own pages and external links to other websites. External sites may go down or restructure, causing previously working links to break.

Will checking lots of links slow down my site?

Scans run as a background process with throttling to avoid overloading your server or triggering rate limits on external sites. Normal site operation is not affected during scans.
