Description

No more broken links. Speed up your website by avoiding redirects and improve your search engine ranking. Link Finder is a very simple and lightweight plugin to easily find and repair broken links throughout your website.

When you navigate to `Tools >> Link Finder` in the admin panel, Link Finder will parse the links in the content of all your posts and pages. Depending on the size of your website and the amount of links, this could take a moment. It extracts the links it finds in all html `href` and `src` attributes and attempts to follow them. All redirected links and broken links will be listed, for example those that result in a 404 Page Not Found error. From within this list, you can easily make corrections and then repair all optimizable and broken links in one simple click.

To not affect the speed of your website, Link Finder does not perform active monitoring. It also does not store any additional data to the database. Use it as a tool to manually check for broken links regularly or after changing permalinks or moving your website to another domain.
