WordPress Broken Link Checker – a must-have plugin
Broken Link Checker is a simple WordPress plugin to check broken links on your pages, posts, comments and missing images.
You will be getting a report via e-mail and a full report on your dashboard with all your links, split by status and the option to bulk edit/check/fix/unlink them.
As you see in the screenshot below, the report is quite clear and the cleaning up process couldn’t be easier.
The settings are straight forward . Check what you need to and save your settings, then let the Link Checker do its work.
Features:
- Monitors links in your posts, pages, comments, the blogroll, and custom fields (optional).
- Detects links that don’t work, missing images and redirects.
- Notifies you either via the Dashboard or by email.
- Makes broken links display differently in posts (optional).
- Prevents search engines from following broken links (optional).
- You can search and filter links by URL, anchor text and so on.
- Links can be edited directly from the plugin’s page, without manually updating each post.
- Highly configurable.
The ability to choose which links should be checked is a big plus.
As you can see, this plugin is a must-have utility and can help you improve your relation with Google and also have your blog clean and dead-link-free.
