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As websites grow and content changes over time, links naturally become outdated.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.
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.
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 (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:
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:
A user or search engine visits a URL on your website.
WordPress checks whether the requested page exists.
If the page cannot be found, WordPress returns a 404 error response.
The SEO Repair Kit plugin detects this response.
The plugin logs the error in the 404 Monitor database.
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.
These options are ideal for large websites and dynamic URLs.
Step 5: Monitor Redirect Hits & Performance
Each redirect tracks how many times it has been used.
You can:
Identify most-hit redirects
Analyze redirect effectiveness
Detect unnecessary or outdated redirects
This helps optimize both SEO and performance.
Step 6: Manage Redirect Status
You can:
Activate or deactivate redirects
Edit source or target URLs
Delete unused redirects
This keeps your redirection system clean and efficient.
Step 7: Handle 404 Errors Proactively
The system automatically detects 404 errors.
You can:
View broken URLs
Create redirects directly from detected errors
Prevent repeated crawl issues

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
Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
In the left navigation menu, locate SEO Repair Kit.
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

What You’ll Learn
In the following sections, we will guide you through:
Installation & Setup: Get started by installing and activating the Redirection feature
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 (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.
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:
A user or search engine visits a URL on your website.
WordPress checks whether the requested page exists.
If the page cannot be found, WordPress returns a 404 error response.
The SEO Repair Kit plugin detects this response.
The plugin logs the error in the 404 Monitor database.
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.
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
Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
In the left navigation menu, locate SEO Repair Kit.
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
