<p>The Kandeshop Broken Links Checker is a WordPress plugin designed to identify and list broken or non-functional external links. It scans through your site in batches and organizes links into five tabs:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Broken/Unreachable Links:</strong> Shows all links (internal and external) that return an error (404, 500) or are unreachable (timeout).</li>
<li><strong>Working External Links:</strong> Shows all links that are NOT on your own domain and return a successful status.</li>
<li><strong>Pages Checked:</strong> Lists all posts and pages that have been scanned in your current session.</li>
<li><strong>Guide & Limitations:</strong> A simple “how-to” guide with important warnings about how the plugin works.</li>
<li><strong>Status Code Explanations:</strong> A full explanation of what each error (404, 403, 999, cURL 28) actually means.</li>
</ol>
<p>The plugin now intelligently categorizes errors and features a real-time progress indicator that shows you exactly which post is being scanned.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>Go to the admin dashboard.</li>
<li>Find the ‘Broken Links’ option in the main menu and click it.</li>

<p>It’s often too easy to make edits to your web site that result in a broken link. This plugin will automatically email the web site administrator (or a specified email address) whenever a 404 is encountered, along with a link to the page the 404 originated from. With this knowledge in hand, you can search the page for the problem and either remove or fix it.</p>
<p>Notifications are also triggered by missing media, such as images, video, CSS files and more.</p>
<h3>Support</h3>
<p>Report any issues at the official <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/404-notify/" rel="ugc">404 Notify Support</a> WordPress page.</p>
<h3>How to use</h3>
<p>Once activated, notifications are automatially sent to the site administrator, or, you can specify an alternative email address in <strong>Settings</strong> -> <strong>General</strong> and look for the <strong>404 Notify email address</strong> field.</p>
<h3>Uninstall</h3>
<p>Deactivate the plugin, delete if desired.</p>
