Broken Link Checker

By WPMU DEV - Your All-in-One WordPress Platform

Description

Automatically monitor your WordPress site for broken links and missing images, so you can fix them proactively and protect your SEO.

Broken links aren’t just annoying for your visitors, they negatively impact your rankings and make your site look outdated and untrustworthy. But manually checking hundreds of links? Ain’t nobody got time for that!

Broken Link Checker detects issues 20x faster and more accurately than other plugins, thanks to cloud-based link checking. This powerful plugin scans your pages, posts, comments and custom fields, spotting broken or redirected URLs and giving you a quick way to fix them all from one centralized dashboard.

With over 17 million downloads and 50,000+ broken links found daily, Broken Link Checker leaves no URL behind. You can even receive email alerts when something breaks, so you’re never caught off guard.

Every broken link is a strike against your credibility, and your SEO score. But staying on top of them can feel like fighting a never-ending battle. Broken Link Checker gives you an easy way to scan your content and fix issues before anyone notices.

Whether you’re maintaining a personal blog, a client-heavy agency setup, or a content-rich eCommerce site, this plugin saves hours of manual work and helps you keep things tidy.

Broken Link Checker scans your site deeply and frequently, to make sure no broken links are missed. The plugin will scan every inch of your sites, including within posts, pages, custom post types, comments and even embedded media, to ensure your site’s SEO and user experience are not compromised in any way.

Choose how and when you want to be notified about broken links. You can receive instant email alerts, get a summary in your WordPress dashboard, and stay in control with flexible scan settings that meet your needs.

Broken Link Checker makes it easy to fine-tune your scan settings, with search and filtering tools that help you check what really matters. Look for specific URLs, or filter by status or error type.

Manage broken links efficiently. No need to dig through old posts. Broken Link Checker lets you resolve all detected links right from your BLC dashboard. Bulk action means you can clean up dozens of links from the plugin interface with just a few clicks.

FAQ

Yes! The plugin is completely free and includes all the core scanning features. The plugin works either locally on your own server, or 20x faster, better and more accurately on WPMU DEV cloud servers. The Local version only works in your site admin, while the Cloud version works in both your site admin and in your Hub.

The cloud version requires a connection to WPMU DEV to access its API. However, you don’t need to be a premium WPMU DEV member to access the cloud version! You can create a free Hub account (with some restrictions) directly in the plugin while settings things up.
