Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Occasionally updatedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

Works exactly as one would hope. I added a valid link and a 404 link. Right away it was able to detect the 404 link and give a small notice at the top of post edit regarding the broken link. I use a page speed monitor for my site which I can happily say I saw zero foot print on page speed. Happy to see this work well with the latest version of WordPress. 🙂

This plugin provides a very different approach than most other link checkers: It does not scan your whole website for broken links, but checks all links when you create or update them. While you may miss some broken links (which worked when you created them, but stopped working in the meantime) with that approach, this plugin helps you to avoid typos in URLs and does not create too much load on your website.

I’m baffled this plugin hasn’t got more installs. Checking for broken links, could be part of the “pre publish checklist” feature, but it isn’t. I like how the links are checked when you save/update a post, allowing you to catch any typos immediately and not hurting your websites performance afterwards (like other link checkers might do). Also – I’ve tested Save Post, Check Links on a WordPress 5.6 multisite with PHP 8.0.0 – no issues encountered. Recommended 🙂 Bjarne

Pluginkollektiv is one of my favourite developers: they provide very useful and lights plugins. This plugin works perfectly! Would be nice to have it also on pages, woo-commerce products etc. etc. I hope they will keep it updated. Many thanks
