Getting Started

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As websites grow and content changes over time, links naturally become outdated.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
