Beplus Link Status Scanner scans all your published posts and pages for broken links, redirects, and unreachable URLs. It runs in the background using WordPress Cron so your site performance is never impacted.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Automatic background scanning — Uses WP-Cron to scan posts and check links on a schedule you control.</li>
<li>Broken link report — A clean admin table listing every broken link: URL, HTTP status code, the post it was found in, and when it was last checked.</li>
<li>Status filters — Quickly filter links by All, Broken, Redirect, OK, Unchecked, or Ignored.</li>
<li>Bulk actions — Re-check, ignore, or delete multiple links at once.</li>
<li>Email notifications — Get a digest email listing new broken links after each cron check run.</li>
<li>Configurable settings — Set check frequency (daily/weekly/monthly), request timeout, links per cron run, and excluded URL patterns.</li>
<li>Dashboard widget — A quick summary of total, broken, redirect, and OK links on your WordPress dashboard.</li>
<li>Instant re-check — Re-check any single link immediately from the admin table.</li>
<li>Scan on save — Newly published or updated posts are scanned immediately when saved.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>When a post is published or updated, Beplus Link Status Scanner extracts all <code><a href></code> links from the content and stores them in the database.</li>
<li>A scheduled cron job checks each stored link by making an HTTP HEAD request and recording the response code.</li>
<li>Broken links (404, 410, connection errors) are flagged in the admin report.</li>
<li>If email notifications are enabled, you receive a digest email listing newly broken links after each scan.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Privacy</h4>
Beplus Link Status Scanner sends HTTP requests to external URLs in order to check their status. No personal data is collected or shared.
