Link Scanner:

Link Scanner is URLs on your website that no longer lead to a valid destination. These can be internal links pointing to removed pages or external links leading to websites that no longer exist. While they often go unnoticed, broken links can negatively impact both user experience and search engine performance.

Introduction to Link Scanner:

As websites grow and content changes over time, links naturally become outdated. Pages get deleted, URLs change, and external websites shut down. Manually tracking these broken links is time-consuming and error-prone. This feature automates the entire process, ensuring no broken link goes undetected.

Why It Matters:

Broken links frustrate visitors, increase bounce rates, and signal poor site quality to search engines. They can silently weaken your SEO and reduce user trust. By identifying and fixing broken links early, you create a smoother browsing experience, improve crawlability, and maintain a healthy, professional website.

Requirements:

  • The plugin must be installed and activated
  • Permission to scan site pages and posts
  • An active internet connection for checking external links
  • No technical knowledge or coding skills required

Overview:

The 404 Monitor feature in the SEO Repair Kit plugin helps you detect and track 404 errors (Page Not Found) that occur on your website.

A 404 error happens when a user or search engine tries to access a page that does not exist on the server. These errors usually occur when:

  • A page has been deleted
  • A URL has been changed
  • An internal link is broken
  • Another website links to an incorrect URL
  • A visitor manually enters the wrong URL

If left unresolved, 404 errors can negatively impact user experience and SEO performance.

What You Can Do with the 404 Monitor

Using the 404 Monitor, you can:

  • Detect pages that return 404 errors
  • Track how many times a broken URL is accessed
  • Identify the source of broken links
  • Monitor website issues affecting SEO
  • Fix or redirect broken URLs

This helps maintain a healthy website structure and better search engine rankings.

How It Works

Link Scanning:

The feature automatically scans your entire website, including pages, posts, and embedded links. It checks each link’s status to determine whether it’s active, redirected, or broken—covering both internal and external URLs.

Link Reporting:

Once the scan is complete, all detected broken links are organized into a clear, easy-to-read report. Each entry shows where the broken link appears, its destination, and its status, allowing you to quickly understand and prioritize fixes.

Manual Detection:

In addition to automated scans, you can manually trigger a scan at any time. This is especially useful after publishing new content or making major updates, ensuring broken links are caught immediately.

Fixing Broken Links:

From the report dashboard, you can fix broken links in just a few clicks. Update the URL, remove the link, or redirect it to a working page—no coding or technical setup required.

Proactive Monitoring:

The feature works proactively to help prevent future issues. Regular scans ensure new broken links are identified early, keeping your website healthy, user-friendly, and SEO-optimized without constant manual checks.

How It Works

The Redirection feature works by mapping old or broken URLs to new, active ones. You can set up redirects manually or allow the system to automatically suggest redirects for deleted or moved pages.

Key Features:

  • Simple Setup: Allows you to create, edit, and delete redirects quickly.
  • Automatic 404 Monitoring: Automatically detects 404 errors and allows you to redirect them to the appropriate pages.
  • Manual Redirects: You have the flexibility to create manual redirects by entering both the old and new URLs.
  • Redirect Logs: The system keeps track of all your redirects, giving you a history of changes.
  • Error Tracking: It can also notify you when an error occurs, ensuring your site is always in top shape.

This system ensures that users always find the content they’re looking for, even when the original page has been moved or deleted

How It Benefits SEO:

  • Preserves Link Equity: Ensures that link value (PageRank) from old URLs is passed on to the new URLs.
  • Prevents Duplicate Content: Redirecting duplicate pages to the main page avoids search engine penalties.
  • Improves Site Health: Regularly fixing broken links and redirecting them helps maintain a clean site architecture.

Redirection Works in WordPress:

Redirection involves setting up rules that automatically send users from one URL to another. When someone tries to visit an old URL, the redirection rules trigger, and they are taken to the correct page. There are different types of redirects that can be used:

  • 301 Redirect: Permanent redirect. It indicates that the URL has been moved permanently to a new location. This is the most common type used for SEO.
  • 302 Redirect: Temporary redirect. It tells search engines that the content is temporarily located at a different URL.
  • 307 Redirect: Another temporary redirect, used when the request method should not change.
  • 404 Redirect: A default redirect that occurs when the URL is not found. It’s good to set up custom 404 redirects to guide users to a helpful page instead.

How it works

The KeyTrack Configuration feature in the SEO Repair Kit provides streamlined keyword tracking by collecting key metrics and notifying you of any significant changes. Here’s how it operates:

  • Keyword Selection: Choose specific keywords you want to monitor. This could include core keywords for your site or high-priority terms that impact your SEO strategy.
  • Data Collection: KeyTrack pulls essential data for each keyword—such as ranking, impressions, clicks, and CTR—directly from Google Search Console and any other linked sources, providing comprehensive insights into performance.
  • Threshold-Based Alerts: Set custom thresholds, like receiving alerts for position changes, declines in CTR, or any shifts in impressions. These notifications keep you informed and allow you to take action when performance changes occur.
  • Clear Performance Visualization: The interactive KeyTrack dashboard shows each keyword’s performance history in a user-friendly view, making it easy to see trends and patterns. You can analyze shifts over time, measure the success of your SEO efforts, and make strategic adjustments.

Image ALT Text:

Image ALT text (alternative text) is a short, descriptive text added to images that explains their content. It helps search engines understand what an image represents and allows screen readers to describe images to visually impaired users.

Introduction to Image ALT Text:

Images enhance visual appeal, but without ALT text, they remain invisible to search engines and assistive technologies. The Image ALT Text feature in SEO Repair Kit automatically identifies images missing ALT attributes. It provides an easy way to add or update them—without manual searching or technical effort.

Why It Matters:

Missing ALT text can negatively affect both SEO and accessibility. Search engines rely on ALT text to index images properly, while users with screen readers depend on it to understand visual content. By optimizing image ALT text, you:

  • Improve image search visibility
  • Enhance accessibility compliance
  • Strengthen on-page SEO signals
  • Create a better experience for all users

Requirements:

  • SEO Repair Kit plugin installed and activated
  • Access to the WordPress Media Library
  • Images uploaded to your website
  • No coding or technical skills required

Introduction

Image Alt Text is an essential feature for improving both the accessibility and SEO of your website. By adding descriptive alternative text to your images, you help search engines index your content more effectively and ensure that users with visual impairments can understand what the images represent.

In the SEO Repair Kit plugin, you can easily review images that lack alt text and manually assign descriptive text to them, making sure your website adheres to SEO best practices.

In the SEO Repair Kit plugin, you can easily review images that lack alt text and manually assign descriptive text to them, making sure your website adheres to SEO best practices.

How It Works

The 404 Monitor in the SEO Repair Kit plugin automatically tracks requests made to URLs that do not exist on your website.

When a visitor or search engine attempts to open a page that cannot be found, the server returns a 404 status code. The plugin detects this response and records the request in the 404 Monitor log.

This process runs automatically in the background and does not require any manual setup.

Error Detection Process

The 404 Monitor works through the following process:

  1. A user or search engine visits a URL on your website.
  2. WordPress checks whether the requested page exists.
  3. If the page cannot be found, WordPress returns a 404 error response.
  4. The SEO Repair Kit plugin detects this response.
  5. The plugin logs the error in the 404 Monitor database.
  6. The recorded information becomes visible in the 404 Monitor dashboard.

This allows administrators to identify broken URLs and take corrective action.

What Information Is Collected

When a 404 error occurs, the system records important details to help identify the issue.

The logged data may include:

  • The requested broken URL
  • The referrer page (where the broken link originated)
  • The number of times the error occurred
  • The date and time of the latest request
  • The visitor IP address (if enabled)

This information helps administrators determine the cause of the error.

Step-by-Step Guide

This guide explains how to use the 404 Monitor in the SEO Repair Kit plugin to identify and manage broken URLs on your website.

Follow the steps below to monitor and analyze 404 errors.

Step 1 – Access the 404 Monitor

  1. Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
  2. In the left navigation menu, locate SEO Repair Kit.
  3. Click on 404 Monitor.

Navigation path: Dashboard → SEO Repair Kit → 404 Monitor

Step 2 – View the 404 Error Logs

The 404 Monitor dashboard displays a list of all detected broken URLs on your website.

Each entry in the list represents a 404 error request that has been recorded by the plugin when a user or search engine attempts to access a page that does not exist.

For every logged error, the system provides several important details to help you understand the issue.

The URL field shows the page address that returned the 404 error.

The Referrer indicates the page where the broken link originated. This helps identify whether the error is coming from an internal page on your website or an external source.

The Hits value represents how many times the broken URL has been accessed. A higher number of hits may indicate that the issue needs immediate attention.

The Last Accessed information shows the most recent time the error occurred.

Step 3 – Identify the Source of the Error

After reviewing the error logs, the next step is to determine why the 404 error is occurring.

You can identify the source of the problem by checking the Referrer information and the requested URL. This helps you understand where the broken link originated and what might be causing the issue.

In many cases, 404 errors occur because a page has been deleted, the URL structure has changed, or a link was entered incorrectly.

Common causes of 404 errors include:

  • Internal links pointing to pages that no longer exist
  • External websites linking to incorrect URLs
  • Pages that were moved without setting up a redirect
  • Typographical errors in URLs
  • Old URLs still indexed by search engines

Step 4 – Fix the Broken URL

Once you understand the cause of the error, you can take the appropriate action to resolve it.

If the broken link is coming from inside your website, you can edit the content and update the link with the correct URL.

If the page has been moved or renamed, it is recommended to create a redirect from the old URL to the new one. Redirects ensure that visitors and search engines are automatically sent to the correct page.

In some cases, the page may have been deleted accidentally. If the content is still important, you may choose to restore or recreate the page.

Taking the correct action will help prevent visitors from encountering broken pages and will maintain a better user experience.

Step 5 – Monitor and Maintain

After fixing the issue, it is important to continue monitoring the 404 Monitor logs.

Regularly checking the logs allows you to detect new broken links and resolve them quickly. This practice helps maintain the overall health of your website.

By monitoring 404 errors consistently, you can:

  • Improve user experience
  • Maintain better SEO performance
  • Prevent search engines from indexing broken pages
  • Keep your website structure clean and organized

  • How It Works: Understand how redirects are created and managed
  • Step-by-Step Guide: Learn how to create, monitor, and manage redirects
  • FAQs: Find answers to common questions and troubleshooting tips

How It Works

The Redirection feature works by mapping old or broken URLs to new, active ones. You can set up redirects manually or allow the system to automatically suggest redirects for deleted or moved pages.

Key Features:

  • Simple Setup: Allows you to create, edit, and delete redirects quickly.
  • Automatic 404 Monitoring: Automatically detects 404 errors and allows you to redirect them to the appropriate pages.
  • Manual Redirects: You have the flexibility to create manual redirects by entering both the old and new URLs.
  • Redirect Logs: The system keeps track of all your redirects, giving you a history of changes.
  • Error Tracking: It can also notify you when an error occurs, ensuring your site is always in top shape.

This system ensures that users always find the content they’re looking for, even when the original page has been moved or deleted

How It Benefits SEO:

  • Preserves Link Equity: Ensures that link value (PageRank) from old URLs is passed on to the new URLs.
  • Prevents Duplicate Content: Redirecting duplicate pages to the main page avoids search engine penalties.
  • Improves Site Health: Regularly fixing broken links and redirecting them helps maintain a clean site architecture.

Redirection Works in WordPress:

Redirection involves setting up rules that automatically send users from one URL to another. When someone tries to visit an old URL, the redirection rules trigger, and they are taken to the correct page. There are different types of redirects that can be used:

  • 301 Redirect: Permanent redirect. It indicates that the URL has been moved permanently to a new location. This is the most common type used for SEO.
  • 302 Redirect: Temporary redirect. It tells search engines that the content is temporarily located at a different URL.
  • 307 Redirect: Another temporary redirect, used when the request method should not change.
  • 404 Redirect: A default redirect that occurs when the URL is not found. It’s good to set up custom 404 redirects to guide users to a helpful page instead.

Image Alt Text

Getting Started

Image ALT Text:

Image ALT text (alternative text) is a short, descriptive text added to images that explains their content. It helps search engines understand what an image represents and allows screen readers to describe images to visually impaired users.

Introduction to Image ALT Text:

Images enhance visual appeal, but without ALT text, they remain invisible to search engines and assistive technologies. The Image ALT Text feature in SEO Repair Kit automatically identifies images missing ALT attributes. It provides an easy way to add or update them—without manual searching or technical effort.

Why It Matters:

Missing ALT text can negatively affect both SEO and accessibility. Search engines rely on ALT text to index images properly, while users with screen readers depend on it to understand visual content. By optimizing image ALT text, you:

  • Improve image search visibility
  • Enhance accessibility compliance
  • Strengthen on-page SEO signals
  • Create a better experience for all users

Requirements:

  • SEO Repair Kit plugin installed and activated
  • Access to the WordPress Media Library
  • Images uploaded to your website
  • No coding or technical skills required

Introduction

Image Alt Text is an essential feature for improving both the accessibility and SEO of your website. By adding descriptive alternative text to your images, you help search engines index your content more effectively and ensure that users with visual impairments can understand what the images represent.

In the SEO Repair Kit plugin, you can easily review images that lack alt text and manually assign descriptive text to them, making sure your website adheres to SEO best practices.

How It Works

The Image ALT Text Manager continuously scans your media library to detect images missing ALT attributes. It organizes results into a dedicated dashboard where you can:

  • View total images and ALT health status
  • Identify images without ALT text
  • Add or update ALT text individually or in bulk
  • Track overall optimization progress with a health score

All actions are performed through a clean, visual interface designed for non-technical users.

Step By Step Guide

Step 1: Open the Image ALT Text Manager

From the WordPress admin panel, go to:

SEO Repair Kit → Image Alt Missing

This opens the Image ALT Text dashboard.

Step 2: Review the Overview Metrics

At the top of the dashboard, you’ll see key summary cards:

  • Total Images
    Displays the total number of images in your media library.
  • Missing ALT Text
    Shows how many images require optimization.
  • With ALT Text
    Confirms how many images are already optimized.
  • Health Score
    A percentage score representing your overall ALT text optimization status.

These metrics help you quickly assess image SEO health.

Step 3: Filter Images by ALT Status

Use the filter buttons to manage images efficiently:

  • All – View all images
  • Missing Alt – Show only images without ALT text
  • Has Alt – Display images already optimized

This allows you to focus only on images that need attention.

Step 4: Browse the Image Library

Scroll through the image cards in the Image Library section.
Each image card shows:

  • Image preview
  • Image title
  • Upload date
  • ALT text status indicator

Images missing ALT text are clearly highlighted.

Step 5: Add ALT Text to an Individual Image

Click Add Alt Text on any image card.

  • Enter a clear, descriptive ALT text
  • Keep it concise and relevant
  • Include keywords naturally where appropriate

Save the changes to instantly update the image.

Step 6: Monitor Optimization Progress

As ALT text is added:

  • The Missing ALT Text count decreases
  • The count of ALT Text increases
  • The Health Score improves in real time

This provides immediate feedback on your optimization progress.

Step 7: Maintain Ongoing Image Optimization

Revisit the Image ALT Text Manager regularly—especially after uploading new images—to ensure all visuals remain optimized for SEO and accessibility.

404 Monitor

Getting Started

Overview:

The 404 Monitor feature in the SEO Repair Kit plugin helps you detect and track 404 errors (Page Not Found) that occur on your website.

A 404 error happens when a user or search engine tries to access a page that does not exist on the server. These errors usually occur when:

  • A page has been deleted
  • A URL has been changed
  • An internal link is broken
  • Another website links to an incorrect URL
  • A visitor manually enters the wrong URL

If left unresolved, 404 errors can negatively impact user experience and SEO performance.

What You Can Do with the 404 Monitor

Using the 404 Monitor, you can:

  • Detect pages that return 404 errors
  • Track how many times a broken URL is accessed
  • Identify the source of broken links
  • Monitor website issues affecting SEO
  • Fix or redirect broken URLs

This helps maintain a healthy website structure and better search engine rankings.

How It Works

The 404 Monitor in the SEO Repair Kit plugin automatically tracks requests made to URLs that do not exist on your website.

When a visitor or search engine attempts to open a page that cannot be found, the server returns a 404 status code. The plugin detects this response and records the request in the 404 Monitor log.

This process runs automatically in the background and does not require any manual setup.

Error Detection Process

The 404 Monitor works through the following process:

  1. A user or search engine visits a URL on your website.
  2. WordPress checks whether the requested page exists.
  3. If the page cannot be found, WordPress returns a 404 error response.
  4. The SEO Repair Kit plugin detects this response.
  5. The plugin logs the error in the 404 Monitor database.
  6. The recorded information becomes visible in the 404 Monitor dashboard.

This allows administrators to identify broken URLs and take corrective action.

What Information Is Collected

When a 404 error occurs, the system records important details to help identify the issue.

The logged data may include:

  • The requested broken URL
  • The referrer page (where the broken link originated)
  • The number of times the error occurred
  • The date and time of the latest request
  • The visitor IP address (if enabled)

This information helps administrators determine the cause of the error.

Step-by-Step Guide

This guide explains how to use the 404 Monitor in the SEO Repair Kit plugin to identify and manage broken URLs on your website.

Follow the steps below to monitor and analyze 404 errors.

Step 1 – Access the 404 Monitor

  1. Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
  2. In the left navigation menu, locate SEO Repair Kit.
  3. Click on 404 Monitor.

Navigation path: Dashboard → SEO Repair Kit → 404 Monitor

Step 2 – View the 404 Error Logs

The 404 Monitor dashboard displays a list of all detected broken URLs on your website.

Each entry in the list represents a 404 error request that has been recorded by the plugin when a user or search engine attempts to access a page that does not exist.

For every logged error, the system provides several important details to help you understand the issue.

The URL field shows the page address that returned the 404 error.

The Referrer indicates the page where the broken link originated. This helps identify whether the error is coming from an internal page on your website or an external source.

The Hits value represents how many times the broken URL has been accessed. A higher number of hits may indicate that the issue needs immediate attention.

The Last Accessed information shows the most recent time the error occurred.

Step 3 – Identify the Source of the Error

After reviewing the error logs, the next step is to determine why the 404 error is occurring.

You can identify the source of the problem by checking the Referrer information and the requested URL. This helps you understand where the broken link originated and what might be causing the issue.

In many cases, 404 errors occur because a page has been deleted, the URL structure has changed, or a link was entered incorrectly.

Common causes of 404 errors include:

  • Internal links pointing to pages that no longer exist
  • External websites linking to incorrect URLs
  • Pages that were moved without setting up a redirect
  • Typographical errors in URLs
  • Old URLs still indexed by search engines

Step 4 – Fix the Broken URL

Once you understand the cause of the error, you can take the appropriate action to resolve it.

If the broken link is coming from inside your website, you can edit the content and update the link with the correct URL.

If the page has been moved or renamed, it is recommended to create a redirect from the old URL to the new one. Redirects ensure that visitors and search engines are automatically sent to the correct page.

In some cases, the page may have been deleted accidentally. If the content is still important, you may choose to restore or recreate the page.

Taking the correct action will help prevent visitors from encountering broken pages and will maintain a better user experience.

Step 5 – Monitor and Maintain

After fixing the issue, it is important to continue monitoring the 404 Monitor logs.

Regularly checking the logs allows you to detect new broken links and resolve them quickly. This practice helps maintain the overall health of your website.

By monitoring 404 errors consistently, you can:

  • Improve user experience
  • Maintain better SEO performance
  • Prevent search engines from indexing broken pages
  • Keep your website structure clean and organized
