Περιγραφή
Codesala Broken Link Fixer is a lightweight WordPress plugin by Codesala that automatically scans all your posts and pages for broken links (HTTP 404, 500, and other error codes), and lets you fix them — right from your WordPress dashboard.
Built by Bikas Kumar at Codesala using the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate.
Key Features
- One-click scan — Scan your entire site with a single button click.
- AJAX batched scanning — Scans in small batches to avoid server timeouts. Shows a live progress bar.
- Replace URL — Replace a broken URL with a working one. Post content is updated automatically.
- Remove Link — Remove a broken link’s anchor tag while keeping the visible text.
- Ignore Link — Mark a link as ignored so it won’t clutter your results.
- Bulk Actions (new in 2.0) — Select multiple broken links at once and Bulk Remove, Bulk Redirect (replace URLs in batch via a modal), or Bulk Ignore in a single click.
- HTTP status display — See the exact error code (404, 500, 403, Timeout, etc.) for each broken link.
- Scheduled automatic scanning — Set up hourly, daily, or weekly automated scans via WP-Cron.
- Email notifications — Receive an email alert whenever broken links are found.
- Clean uninstall — Removes all database tables and plugin options on uninstall.
- WordPress Coding Standards — Built with security best practices: nonces, capability checks, sanitization, and prepared SQL queries.

- SEO managers who want to keep all outbound and internal links healthy.

Συχνές Ερωτήσεις
-
Does this plugin slow down my website?
-
No. Scanning happens only when you click the scan button (or when WP-Cron triggers it). It does not affect your front-end performance at all.
-
How does the scanner check links?
-
It uses WordPress’s built-in
wp_remote_head()(with a fallback towp_remote_get()) to send HTTP requests to each URL and checks the response code. -
What HTTP codes are considered “broken”?
-
0 (timeout/unreachable), 400, 401, 403, 404, 408, 410, 500, 502, 503, 504.
-
Will it fix internal links too?
-
Yes — the scanner checks all absolute
http://andhttps://URLs found in post content, whether they are internal or external. -
Does it scan custom post types?
-
The current version scans Posts and Pages. Support for custom post types is planned for a future release.
-
What happens when I uninstall?
-
The plugin removes its custom database table (
wp_broken_links) and all options fromwp_options. Your posts and pages are untouched.
