<p>NaveenCodes Broken Link Fixer finds every broken link and image on your site and gives you one focused dashboard to deal with them — fix the URL inline, unlink while keeping the anchor text, recheck, or dismiss.</p>
<p>Broken links hurt your visitors and your SEO. Most link checkers are heavy, route your data through external services, or lock the useful parts behind a paywall. This plugin is different:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>100% local</strong> — every check runs from your own server. No external service, no account, nothing is sent to us.</li>
<li><strong>Free forever</strong> — every feature is included. No pro version, no ads, no upsells.</li>
<li><strong>Zero bloat</strong> — one focused job with a clean, fast dashboard.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Scan posts, pages, and any public custom post type for links and images.</li>
<li>Also scan navigation menus, comments, and text widgets (optional).</li>
<li>Batched, throttled HTTP checking that won’t overload your server.</li>
<li>Clear status for every link: Broken, Warning, Redirect, Healthy, Pending, Dismissed.</li>
<li>Fix a URL inline — the post, comment, or menu item is updated for you.</li>
<li>One-click “Use target” replaces a redirected link with its final URL.</li>
<li>Unlink a broken link while keeping its anchor text.</li>
<li>Recheck any link on demand, or recheck/dismiss many at once with bulk actions.</li>
<li>Dismiss false positives — they stay ignored in future scans.</li>
<li>Search and filter the report (one-line filter bar) and export it to CSV.</li>
<li>Internal/External chip on every link so you can prioritise.</li>
<li>Weekly email digest when broken links are found (optional).</li>
<li>WordPress dashboard widget and Site Health integration.</li>
<li>Recent-activity log of every scan, fix, unlink, and dismissal.</li>
<li>WP-CLI support: <code>wp ncblf scan</code>, <code>wp ncblf check</code>, <code>wp ncblf status</code>.</li>
<li>Daily background recheck via WP-Cron keeps results fresh.</li>
<li>Configurable: post types, sources, batch size, timeout, excluded domains.</li>
<li>Premium dashboard UI with link-health stats at a glance.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Privacy</h4>
<p>This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external services. Link checks are HTTP requests made directly from your server to the URLs found in your own content. No analytics, no tracking, no ads.</p>
