## Description

The “Broken Link Notifier” WordPress plugin is a vigilant guardian for your website’s
links, monitoring and alerting you to broken or dead links as users visit your site.
This ensures a seamless user experience and helps prevent search engine ranking 
penalties.

This plugin:

 * Scans content when users visit a page after the page fully loads, preventing 
   performance lag
 * Identifies broken links, including 404 errors, timeouts, images, and embedded
   YouTube videos
 * Notifies you via dashboard notifications, email, Discord, Slack and/or Microsoft
   Teams
 * Provides a list of broken links for easy review and correction
 * Lets you browse every link on your site in one searchable table before checking
   their status (**NEW with Version 2.0**)
 * Runs a full two-step site-wide scan on your own schedule — discover every link,
   then check them all for broken links and warnings (**NEW with Version 2.0**)
 * Allows easy replacement of links straight from the results page
 * Caches working (good) links to skip rechecking them for a configurable amount
   of time

With “Broken Link Notifier”, you can:

 * Ensure accurate and functional links for your users
 * Prevent search engines from indexing broken links
 * Maintain a professional and trustworthy website image
 * Save time and effort in manual link checking
 * Discover and catalog every link on your site before you even check them
 * Run a full site scan on your own terms, without relying only on page-load visits
 * Improve performance by caching successful link checks (optional)

This plugin is a must-have for website owners, developers, and SEO enthusiasts who
want to guarantee a smooth and error-free browsing experience for their audience!

**IF THIS PLUGIN FLAGS SOME LINKS AS BROKEN WHEN THEY ARE NOT, PLEASE READ THE FAQ
BELOW**

## Installation

 1.  Install the plugin from your website’s plugin directory, or upload the plugin 
     to your plugins folder.
 2.  Activate it.
 3.  The plugin works right away just by visiting pages with broken links on them —
     but you’ll likely see some links flagged as broken that aren’t actually broken,
     so it’s worth spending a few minutes on setup first.
 4.  Go to `Broken Link Notifier > Settings`:
 5.   * Disable notifications for now. By default you’re emailed every time a visitor
        finds a newly-broken link; once flagged, a link won’t notify you again unless
        it’s removed from Results before you fix it. It’s easiest to leave notifications
        off until you’ve finished the initial setup below, then turn them back on.
      * Enable “Also Fetch Pages Remotely During Page Scan, Site Scan & Link Browser”
        to prepare for a one-time Site Scan.
      * Under Post Types, keep Posts and Pages checked, and add any other post types
        that behave like posts or pages on your front end. Skip post types used only
        for internal data storage.
      * Save with Ctrl+S or the Save button at the top of the page.
 6.  Go to `Broken Link Notifier > Omitted Pages` and add any pages that don’t need
     scanning — custom login pages, 404 pages, auto-generated archive pages, and similar.
     You can add a note to each explaining why it’s omitted. To omit an entire section
     of your site at once, use a wildcard, e.g. `/category/*` or `/tag/*`.
 7.  Go to `Broken Link Notifier > Site Scan` and run the two-step scan — this checks
     your whole site up front so you catch issues before your visitors do, and may 
     take a while depending on site size:
 8.   * Click “Discover Links” and wait for it to finish.
      * Click “Check for Broken Links” and wait for it to finish.
      * If it finds broken links or warnings, click “View Results” (or go to `Broken
        Link Notifier > Results` directly).
 9.  Review your results and omit anything that’s a false positive — individually from
     Results or Link Browser, or by domain with a wildcard from `Broken Link Notifier
     > Omitted Links`.
 10. Once you’ve worked through your initial results, go back to Settings and re-enable
     notifications so you’re alerted to anything new going forward.

## FAQ

### Will this plugin slow down my site?

No — The plugin is designed to have minimal impact on performance by only scanning
content after the page has fully loaded for a visitor. This means it doesn’t interfere
with the page render or user experience. Additionally, in version 1.2.5, we introduced
a link caching option that can further improve performance.

If enabled (via the Settings page), caching good links will prevent the same working
links from being rechecked repeatedly for a set period of time. This reduces unnecessary
HTTP requests and improves scan efficiency on high-traffic sites.

You can set the cache duration in seconds — common values include:
 – 28800 for 
8 hours – 43200 for 12 hours – 86400 for 24 hours

Adjust this based on your site’s traffic and how frequently your links change.

### Why do some links show as broken when they are not?

If the link works fine and it’s still being flagged as broken, then it is likely
either redirecting to another page or there is an issue with the page’s response
headers, and there’s nothing we can do about it. If it is a redirect on your own
site due to permalink modification, then it’s better to fix the link instead of 
unnecessarily redirecting. You may use the Omit option to omit false positives from
future scans as well. If you are seeing a pattern with multiple links from the same
domain, you can go to `Broken Link Notifier > Omitted Links` to add a domain with
a wildcard (*), which will omit all links starting with that domain.

If you feel that there is another issue at hand, We are happy to look into it further
with you.

### What causes a link to give a warning?

Warnings mean the link was found, but they may be unsecure or slow to respond. If
you are getting too many warnings due to timeouts, try increasing your timeout in
Settings. This will just result in longer wait times, but with more accuracy. You
can also disable warnings if you have too many of them.

### What is status code 666?

A status code of `666` is a code we use to force invalid URL `code 0` to be a broken
link in case warnings are disabled. It is not an official status code.

### Can I omit links and pages from scans?

Yes, you can omit links from being checked for validity by using the “Omit” link
in the scan results, or by entering them in manually under Omitted Links. Likewise,
you can omit pages from being scanned from the results page or Omitted Pages. Wildcards(*)
are accepted.

### When I click on “Find On Page,” I cannot find the link. Where is it?

Sometimes links are hidden with CSS or inside modals/popups. To find hidden links,
go to the page and either open your developer console or view the page source and
search for the link. This will show you where it is and which element to look in.
Then you can edit the page accordingly. This is more advanced and may require some
assistance, so feel free to reach out to us for help.

### What’s the difference between Link Browser, Site Scan, and Multi-Scan?

Link Browser catalogs every link on your site in one searchable table, without checking
their status until you ask it to. Site Scan builds on that same catalog and adds
a second step that checks every link for broken links and warnings all at once. 
Multi-Scan is our original scanning method from earlier versions, kept available
but disabled by default; developers can re-enable it with the `blnotifier_enable_legacy_multiscan`
filter.

### Why does the dev console show more links that what is scanned during a scan?

The link count during Site Scan or the legacy Multi-Scan does not include links 
that are filtered out from the pre-check.

### What pre-checks are used to filter out broken links?

We skip links that start with `#` (anchor tags and JavaScript) or `?` (query strings),
non-http url schemes (such as `mailto:`, `tel:`, `data:`, etc. ), and any links 
you have omitted.

### What can I do if I have the same broken link on a lot of pages?

There are other plugins such as [Better Search Replace by WP Engine](https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/)
that will quickly replace URLs on your entire site at once.

### Why does my Site Scan or Multi-Scan stop partway through?

There is likely an issue with the content on that page causing a redirect. We cannot
intercept all redirected content unfortunately. If that is the case, you can omit
the page being scanned so you can continue scanning the rest of your site the next
time you try.

### Are there hooks available for Developers?

Yes, there are plenty. You can visit our developer documentation here: https://pluginrx.
com/docs/plugin/broken-link-notifier/

### Where can I request features and get further support?

We recommend using our [website support forum](https://pluginrx.com/support/plugin/broken-link-notifier/)
as the primary method for requesting features and getting help. You can also reach
out via our [Discord support server](https://discord.gg/3HnzNEJVnR) or the [WordPress.org support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/broken-link-notifier/),
but please note that WordPress.org doesn’t always notify us of new posts, so it’s
not ideal for time-sensitive issues.

Hello, Thank you for developing the Broken Link Notifier plugin — it’s a very useful
tool that helps keep my website healthy and error-free. However, I’ve noticed a 
recurring issue that I hope can be fixed in a future update. When the plugin detects
a broken link and I fix or remove it, the dashboard correctly shows the message:“
Link is good, removing from list…” But after reloading the page or reopening the
plugin dashboard, the same link and page reappear in the broken links list. It then
re-verifies the link again and gives the same output — “Link is good, removing from
list…” —yet the item never actually disappears from the list permanently. 🔍 Expected
Behavior: Once a link is fixed and verified as good, it should be permanently removed
from the list and not appear again after refreshing or rescanning. 🧩 Environment:
WordPress Version: 6.8.3 PHP Version: 8.3 This plugin is genuinely helpful, and 
I’d really appreciate it if this bug could be addressed in an update to make the
experience smoother and more reliable. Thanks again for your great work on this 
plugin!

 [pol](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pscolv/) awgust 31, 2025 2 replies

I installed this plugin today, and it seems that I've found at last, the solution
for checking broken links on my website ! I found very interesting the idea of leveraging
visitors for triggering broken links scans… indeed that doesn't require a resource-
intensive browsing, generating additional traffic, whereas the visitors already 
do it… and moreover, they prioritize themselves the pages most visited, which deserve
more attention ! The only issue I've identified sofar, is that the plugin is generating
many "false positives" on some "ads" URLS, starting with …googleads.g.doubleclick.
net. I suppose it's due to specific behavior on those urls, and actually I don't
care for those, since it's all taken care of by Google themselves. Therefore I think
it would be great to have a "url filter" feature, allowing to discard any url containing
a given pattern, like in my case " googleads". Regards, Pascal.

I looked at the various link-checking plugins and this one seemed to have the best
philosophy on how to do it right, and it was very transparent and helpful in the
descriptions. So I installed it and it looked pretty good…but was disappointed to
see that the plugin's Settings page wasn't working. There was no Save button and
the my changes stayed at the defaults. Just to see if maybe I was doing something
wrong, I jumped on PluginRX's Discord and posted about it…and even though I was 
apparently the only user experiencing this problem, the developer immediately replied
asking for more information! After confirming what I was seeing, he immediately (
on a Sunday, even) released a new version that fixed the issue! It's working great
and I found a bunch of bad links on my site that I can now fix. To top it all off,
this plugin is free, so don't hesitate to install it immediately. I'll also be checking
out the other plugins from PluginRx, most of which are also free.

The plugin is very useful for checking links. I have a website with multiple references
to other websites and external links. The plugin just checks if the referenced URLs
display any errors when accessed. Excellent for the purpose.

Fantastic plugin—clean interface and a real time-saver! The only thing I’d love 
to see added is an option to include links with an HTTP 200 status in the results
list. Being able to view healthy links alongside broken ones would make it even 
easier to verify that everything is working perfectly. Keep up the excellent work!
