FAQs

Do I need to manually start scans with Auto Scan?
No. Once you enable automation and save your settings, scans run automatically according to your chosen interval. No manual intervention is required.

What happens if I don’t enable automation?
Scheduled scans will not run. Automation must be turned ON for Auto Scan to function. You can still run manual scans from the Link Scanner tab.

Can I change the scan interval after saving settings?
Yes. You can return to the Auto Scan tab anytime to adjust the interval, scope, batch limits, or any other setting. Just save again after making changes.

Will Auto Scan slow down my website?
No. Auto Scan processes links in batches with configurable limits. You can adjust batch size and request timeout to minimize server load.

How do I know if broken links were found?
You can check the broken links report in the dashboard. If you enabled email alerts, you will also receive notifications when broken links are detected.

Does Auto Scan store past scan results?
Yes. Scan history is stored so you can see when previous scans ran and review their results. The latest scan snapshot is also kept for quick reference.

Can I run manual scans while Auto Scan is enabled?
Absolutely. Auto Scan does not prevent you from running manual scans anytime you want. Both can work alongside each other.

What if I don’t want to scan everything automatically?
You can limit the scan scope to specific post types (e.g., only Pages, not Posts). This gives you control over exactly what content is scanned automatically.
