A WP Life

Broken links frustrate your visitors and hurt your search rankings. When someone clicks a link on your site and lands on a 404 page, they lose trust — and so does Google.
Dead Link Checker scans your WordPress posts and pages, finds broken links, and gives you a clear report so you can fix them quickly. It runs in the background without slowing down your site.
Whether you have a personal blog or a large content site, keeping your links healthy is one of the simplest things you can do for on-page SEO. This plugin handles the heavy lifting so you don’t have to check every link by hand.
