Radar LinkHawk is a WordPress plugin that indexes outbound links across published posts and pages.
The plugin scans your content, stores each external link usage as its own record, and shows where every URL appears. This helps you review broken destinations, redirects, and link attributes without opening posts one by one.
With Radar LinkHawk you can:
<ul>
<li>scan all published posts and pages for outbound links;</li>
<li>review every usage row with URL, post, anchor text, HTTP status, redirect state, and nofollow data;</li>
<li>group repeated destinations in the URL Summary tab to see total usages and post counts;</li>
<li>filter broken, redirected, and nofollow links;</li>
<li>preview and apply bulk actions only to the exact rows you selected;</li>
<li>add nofollow, remove nofollow, replace URLs, or remove broken links while keeping anchor text as plain text;</li>
<li>export the current URL Summary or Usage view as CSV;</li>
<li>compare internal versus external link distribution in the Link Balance tab;</li>
<li>run weekly background status checks for saved external URLs.</li>
</ul>
Radar LinkHawk keeps editing tools and HTTP checks focused on external links. Internal links are tracked for analysis only, so you can compare content structure without turning the plugin into a full internal-link editor.
Radar LinkHawk does not require a cloud account. When you run a manual scan or enable weekly checks, the plugin sends standard WordPress HTTP requests directly to URLs that already exist in your content so it can store response codes and redirect outcomes.

Seems to be working fine in WordPress 6.2.2.



The only thing I've noticed is it creates a double slash in the URL which causes an issue for SEO  as they will be interpreted as stand-alone URLs, which can result in duplicate content issues.



Example... these show up in the <head>:



<link rel='stylesheet' id='trelsb_frontend_style-css' href='...domain.com/wp-content/plugins/traction-external-links-speed-bump//css/traction-external-links-speed-bump.css?ver=6.2.2' media='all'/>
 
<script src='...domain.com.com/wp-content/plugins/traction-external-links-speed-bump//js/traction-external-links-speed-bump.js?ver=6.2.2' id='trelsb_frontend_script-js'></script>




You can see the double slash "traction-external-links-speed-bump//"
