Getting Started

Link Scan:

Link Scan checks all internal and external links on your website to identify broken, redirected, or problematic URLs. It gives you a complete view of your site’s link health from one place — inside the Links Manager tab.

Introduction to Link Scan:
As your website grows, links naturally break or become outdated. Pages get deleted, URLs change, and external websites shut down. Manually checking every link is impossible for larger sites. Link Scan automates this process, scanning all your content and presenting results in an easy-to-understand report.

Why It Matters:
Broken links frustrate visitors, increase bounce rates, and harm SEO rankings. Link Scan helps you find and fix these issues before they damage your site’s reputation or search visibility. By identifying broken links early, you create a smoother browsing experience and maintain a healthy, professional website.

What You Can Do with Link Scan:

• Scan selected post types (Posts, Pages, custom post types)
• Review link URLs, HTTP status codes, and link context
• See where each broken link appears (post title, link text)
• Export broken links report to CSV
• Create redirects directly from scan results
• Edit source content to fix broken links

Requirements:

• SEO Repair Kit plugin installed and activated
• Post types selected for scanning in Settings
• Active internet connection for external link checking
• No coding skills required
