Broken Link Checker is a WordPress plugin that helps users monitor and detect broken links on their website. The tool can scan every inch of a site, including external and internal links, and detect missing images and redirects. It offers two different link checking engines and provides detection reports via email. Broken links can harm a website's SEO, user experience, and site health, and using a link checking tool can save users from having to find links manually. Broken Link Checker is faster and more accurate than other similar plugins, making it a valuable tool for website owners.
