Check for Broken Links – Broken Link Checker & SEO Suite

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 53% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

At the current install trend, crossing 2K+ in roughly 453 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   After trying another couple of plugins for checking broken links, I tried this one. In 10 minutes did my first check and found and fixed my broken links. No false positives, no Pro for checking external links etc. Thanks for this ! 🙂

   I tried a Manual Scan. I presume nothing was found because after a while the message “Scanning your site for dead links… Please hold on, this might take a few moments.Please do not close this page.” just disappears. There was no message that it found of did not find broken links. So I have no idea if it worked or not. This topic was modified 1 year, 2 months ago by webstpro.

   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… This topic was modified 1 year, 5 months ago by nick6352683.
