3 Useful Plugins to Check For Broken Links in WordPress

Checking for broken links is probably one of the most tedious tasks, especially when you run a huge WordPress site. Yet, if you want to keep your site in good health, you do need to perform such checks. Fortunately, there are a few good WordPress plugins to check for broken links that do the heavy lifting for you.
1. Broken Link Checker
Broken Link Checker with its 400,000+ active installs is the most popular WordPress plugin to check for broken links. In fact, I assume that being the most popular one, it's the first (and last) plugin a user gets, tries, likes, or keeps, and doesn't even bother to look for alternatives. The plugin is available in English and dozens of other languages, which is great if English isn't your strength.
roken Link Checker is a complete link checking solution. It checks for broken links not only in posts and pages, but also in comments, the blogroll, and custom fields (optional). It also detects missing images and redirects.

When a broken link is found, you are notified via the Dashboard or by email. If you want, you can configure it to tell search engines not to follow a broken link. One of the best features of Broken Link Checker is that you don't need to manually open each post and fix the link – you do this directly from the plugins page.
2. WP Broken Link Status Checker
While you can't deny Broken Link Checker is a great plugin, in many aspects WP Broken Link Status Checker is better. The low number of its active installs (5,000+ only) is surprising, but I believe this is so because it's not as well known as Broken Link Checker, and simply users don't know what they are missing by not installing it.
WP Broken Link Status Checker has more advanced features, and I would label it more technical than the other two. Nevertheless, you don't need to be a WP pro in order to run it.

What's special about this plugin is that it allows you to create the so-called separate scans and scan only parts of your site. This is very cool because you can choose to check only those parts you suspect broken links might be hiding instead of the whole site. Just think of the server load you are avoiding by not constantly scanning unnecessary parts of the site.
3. WordPress Broken Link Manager
WordPress Broken Link Manager is another plugin you might want to consider. It doesn't have the rich functionality of Broken Link Checker or WP Broken Link Status Checker, but it does have its perks. The plugin runs constant checks for broken links (which could put a huge burden on your site), and when a broken link is found, it's archived.

When a broken link is found, you have the option to be notified by email. You can also choose to direct all your broken links to a default page (like the homepage of the site) or enter a different redirect page for each link.
