Broken Link Checker for WordPress
Broken links and images in your content can greatly affect the quality. When content is missing critical pieces of information or important images, people are not getting all of the information or the full story. While this might not always have such a large effect on the content, the possibility is still there. At the very least, it makes content unappealing due to the broken link or image messages left on the page. With the Broken Link Checker plugin for WordPress sites, which is completely free, you have an easy and effective solution. This will scan for those broken links and images, reporting back to you if it finds anything.
Checking for broken links and images is an important way to keep your website up and running. Without this check, old pages may have broken links that would have gone unnoticed otherwise. You may not have realized that comments or smaller parts of a site have broken links or images, either. Leaving them broken will only lead to more issues with site functionality and appeal. People will not see the full content, affecting their opinion of the site as a whole. It may also mean that some people cannot access everything as expected on a website.
