WordPress Broken Link Checker Plugin

Broken Link Checker is a WordPress plugin to monitor your blog looking for broken links and let you know if any are found.

Broken Link Checker features:

  • Checks your posts (and pages) in the background.
  • Detects links that don’t work and missing images.
  • Notifies you on the Dashboard if any are found.
  • Link checking intervals can be configured.
  • New/modified posts are checked ASAP.

If there is any broken links found, it will show in a new tab of WP admin panel - Manage -> Broken Links. A notification will also appear on the Dashboard.

The Broken Links tab displays a list of invalid URLs found along with the relevant posts and the anchor text of the links. View and Edit Post do exactly what they say and Discard will remove the message about a broken link, but not the link itself (so it will show up again later unless you fix it; this plugin does not modify your links).

Installation is easy, just like other Wordpress plugins:

  1. Download the broken-link-checker.zip file to your local machine.
  2. Unzip the file
  3. Upload broken-link-checker folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  4. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
