Lightweight local URL scanner for WordPress posts, pages, comments, redirects, and media URLs.

Akshay Vasoya

Anonindo Broken URL Scanner scans selected WordPress content locally and checks discovered URLs in small batches. It is designed for low server impact: no external API credits, no cloud service, no constant full-site crawling, and repeated URLs reuse recent check results.
Core features:
<ul>
<li>Scans posts, pages, selected public custom post types, comment content, and comment author URLs.</li>
<li>Extracts normal links plus common asset URLs from images, scripts, iframes, video/audio/source tags, and stylesheet links.</li>
<li>Checks URLs locally with HEAD first and a small GET fallback when servers do not support HEAD.</li>
<li>Reports broken links, redirects, warnings, skipped links, queued links, and OK links.</li>
<li>Links each result back to the source post or comment for quick editing.</li>
<li>Uses WordPress cron and small configurable batches to reduce CPU, memory, bandwidth, and remote HTTP requests.</li>
<li>Allows ignored domains for paid APIs, staging sites, rate-limited hosts, or services that should not be checked.</li>
<li>Adds a top-level URL Scanner admin menu with Dashboard, Links, and Settings screens.</li>
<li>Supports quick actions for recheck, ignore, mark not broken, update URL, apply redirect URL, and unlink where source content can be safely changed.</li>
<li>Supports dashboard notices and daily email summaries when broken links exist.</li>
<li>Stores results in one custom WordPress table and cleans up fully on uninstall.</li>
</ul>
