Norse Digital Group LLC's own description of Check for Broken Links, lightly tidied.
Find broken links, 404 errors & broken images. Internal link optimizer, rank tracking, AI visibility, SEO audits and uptime monitoring in one plugin.
Check for Broken Links scans your entire WordPress site for broken links, dead links, 404 errors and broken images. It shows you exactly where each broken link was found so you can fix it fast.
Your site breaks quietly while you are busy. Pages get deleted, plugins get abandoned, external sites go offline. Google finds the 404 errors before you do, and your rankings pay the price. This plugin finds every broken link across your posts, pages, custom post types and slider content, and Pro extends the scan to comments and custom fields.
Unlike external link checker tools, the plugin runs inside WordPress. It scans private content, drafts and pages behind login that no external crawler can reach.
Version 3 adds five more tools to the same plugin. You can now track your keyword positions, watch how AI assistants mention your brand, repair your internal linking, audit your site for SEO and AEO, and monitor uptime. All of it runs in wp-admin. See the section below.
Run manual scans anytime and get a full results table. You see every broken link, its HTTP status code and the exact page it was found on. Filter results by link type, content type and error status such as 404, 403 or 500. Export everything to CSV. The plugin never changes your content automatically, so you stay in full control.
Free features:
Every tool below connects to your brokenlinkchecker.io account. One account covers all of them, on the web and in WordPress. Connecting is free and takes one click from the Settings page.
Track your Google and Bing positions for the keywords you choose, without leaving WordPress. Each keyword shows its current position, its change since the last check, its best position, search volume, CPC and search intent. You pick the market, device and search engine when you add a keyword.
