A high-performance link checker for WordPress with affiliate detection, redirect chain analysis, and background processing.

Nicolas Diolez

Muri Link Tracker is a powerful WordPress plugin designed to help site owners maintain their SEO health and user experience by identifying broken links, analyzing redirect chains, and detecting affiliate patterns — all without slowing down your site.
Whether your site has 100 or 100,000 links, Muri Link Tracker scans them in the background and gives you a real-time dashboard to act on what matters: broken URLs, redirect loops, and missing rel attributes.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Background Processing — Scans run silently via Action Scheduler, so your admin stays responsive and your front-end stays fast.</li>
<li>Three Scan Modes — Launch a Full Scan of all content, a Delta Scan (only posts modified since the last scan) to save resources, or a Reset Data to wipe and start fresh.</li>
<li>Live Progress Tracking — Watch the scan progress in real time with a progress bar, counters, and the ability to cancel mid-scan.</li>
<li>Affiliate Link Detection — Automatically identifies affiliate links across 14+ networks (Amazon, Awin, CJ, ShareASale, Impact, Rakuten, ClickBank, PartnerStack, and more), including cloaked internal redirects (internal URLs that redirect to external affiliates).</li>
<li>Redirect Chain Analysis — Classifies every redirect as a single hop, a chain of 2+ hops, or a loop, so you know exactly what to fix first.</li>
<li>Affiliate Networks Breakdown — See at a glance how many links belong to each affiliate program (Amazon, CJ, Awin…).</li>
<li>Modern React Dashboard — Real-time statistics, quick filter tabs (All / Broken / Redirects / OK / Pending), inline editing, and bulk actions in a polished admin interface built with the WordPress design system.</li>
<li>Smart Filtering & Search — Filter by status, link type, or affiliate network, and search across URLs and anchor text instantly.</li>
<li>CSV Export — Export your full link inventory with active filters applied, perfect for reporting and auditing.</li>
<li>Silent Link Editing — Fix or remove a link directly from the dashboard without bumping the post’s modified date or creating revision clutter.</li>
<li>Configurable to Any Host — Adjustable batch sizes, timeouts, request delays, and recheck intervals to fit shared hosting or dedicated servers.</li>
<li>Scan Resume — Interrupted scans pick up exactly where they left off.</li>
<li>Gutenberg-Aware — Extracts links from Gutenberg blocks with block-level metadata, including button blocks and navigation links.</li>
</ul>
<h4>What It Detects</h4>
<ul>
<li>Broken links (4xx and 5xx HTTP status codes)</li>
<li>Redirect chains and loops (single hop, multi-hop, infinite loops)</li>
<li>Affiliate links via domain patterns, URL paths, query parameters, and <code>rel="sponsored"</code></li>
<li>Cloaked affiliate links (internal URLs that redirect to external affiliates)</li>
<li>Missing rel attributes (nofollow, sponsored, ugc)</li>
<li>Timeout and SSL/connection errors</li>
<li>Both internal and external links, categorized automatically</li>
</ul>
<h4>Privacy</h4>
Muri Link Tracker makes outbound HTTP requests to verify the status of links found in your content. These requests use a clearly identified User-Agent string of the form <code>Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MuriLinkTracker/2.0.0; +https://your-site-url)</code>, which includes your own site’s address so the remote servers being checked can identify the source of the request. No personal user data is collected, stored, or transmitted to third parties.
<h4>Development</h4>
The full source code, including React/JavaScript source files and build configuration, is available on GitHub:
