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.
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:
<ul>
<li>100% local — every check runs from your own server. No external service, no account, nothing is sent to us.</li>
<li>Free forever — every feature is included. No pro version, no ads, no upsells.</li>
<li>Zero bloat — 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>
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.

Check for Broken Links scans your entire WordPress site for broken links, dead links, and 404 errors — and alerts you the moment something breaks, before Google finds it first.
Your site breaks quietly while you are busy. Pages get deleted, plugins get abandoned, external sites go offline. You had no idea. Check for Broken Links finds every broken link across your posts, pages, custom post types, comments, and slider content, and shows you exactly where each one was found so you can fix it fast.
Free Version
Run manual scans anytime and get a full results table showing every broken link, its status code, and exactly which page it was found on. Filter by type, export to CSV, and stay in full control with no automatic changes to your content.
Pro Version — Set It Once, Forget It
Pro runs automatic scheduled scans daily, weekly, or monthly and emails you. No manual checking, no guessing — just a silent background monitor that alerts you when something needs your attention.

Check for Broken Links


This plugin does the job well for pages, posts and comments. However, it does not scan the entire site, as it does not include searching to dead links in Custom Post Types - so this is my only reason for my 4 stars as oppose to 5.



UPDATE: After that awesome response, which is refreshing as some others resist and give excuses, I'm updating my review to 5 stars, can't wait for the next update - you guys are awesome and deserve it...


Works well, but lacks support for CPT.


No membership, no cloud, no muss, no fuss. Just works. Thank you :)


Perfect


Simple but effective and works as it should, thank you author.
