## Descripció

Broken Link Checker by AIOSEO ensures all links on your website are working. Check
your site for broken links and easily fix them to improve SEO.

### Broken Link Checker by AIOSEO – Easily Fix/Monitor Internal and External links

The Broken Link Checker by AIOSEO for WordPress is a must-have tool for website 
owners and managers. Its granular control and detailed reporting features ensure
that your website’s links are healthy and functioning correctly, providing your 
visitors with a seamless browsing experience. With this plugin, you can detect and
fix broken links quickly and easily, ensuring that your website is always up-to-
date and running smoothly.

Unlike other broken link checker plugins, **AIOSEO’s Broken Link Checker is offered
as a SaaS and requires an AIOSEO account**. This means that the tool is hosted on
the AIOSEO servers, rather than being installed on your website’s server. **This
approach has several benefits, including preventing your server IP from being blocked,
and avoiding hosting providers from forcing you to upgrade** due to increased resource
usage.

By using Broken Link Checker as a SaaS, you can rest assured that your website’s
performance won’t be negatively affected, and that you’ll have access to the most
up-to-date version of the service at all times. Additionally, it’s incredibly user-
friendly and provides actionable recommendations for fixing broken links, making
it an essential tool for maintaining the health and functionality of your website.

When you install this plugin, you’ll have the opportunity to register for a free
account that includes scanning up to 250 internal links. Those 250 link credits 
will renew every month for free, and you’ll only be upgraded if you scan more than
250 links during the month. Or, if you already have an [AIOSEO Broken Link Checker subscription](https://aioseo.com/pricing-broken-link-checker/),
you can simply connect this plugin to it.

### Link Monitoring

The Broken Link Checker plugin monitors all internal and external links on your 
WordPress website, ensuring that they are functioning correctly. It crawls your 
website periodically and checks each link to ensure that it is not broken. The plugin
will also show whether or not a link worked properly (200 status) or worked with
redirects (301/302 status) or was broken (404 status).

### Granular Control

The plugin provides granular control over which post types and statuses it will 
monitor. You can choose which post types, such as pages, posts, or custom post types,
the plugin will monitor. You can also choose which post statuses, such as published,
draft, or pending review, the plugin will monitor to look for broken links.

### URL Exclusions

You can exclude certain URLs from being checked by the plugin. For example, if you
have a third-party tracking link that redirects to another website, you can exclude
it from being checked.

### Features

 * Monitors all internal and external links on your WordPress website.
 * Detects valid links, broken links and redirects.
 * Provides granular control over which post types and statuses the plugin will 
   monitor.
 * Allows you to exclude certain URLs from being checked.
 * Schedules checks to run automatically at regular intervals.
 * Excludes links that are broken from search engine crawling.
 * Allows inline editing of links to reduce time spent updating each post.

### Credits

This plugin is created by [Benjamin Rojas](https://benjaminrojas.net/) and [Syed Balkhi](https://syedbalkhi.com/).

### 󠀁[Extremely disappointing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/extremely-disappointing-3/)󠁿

 [tashword](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tashword/) 20 de abril de 2026

I didn’t like providing credit card details to download a free plugin but, trusting
AIESEO, I did it unfortauntely. The plugin was easy to install and get going. And
yes there are fewer broken/redirected links on the site now. When I set it to check
links, there is a pop up window asking ‘do you really want to do this? It can’t 
be undone’. My response would be – Yes I want to check links and why would anyone
want to undo a check??? The question should actually be ‘if you do this, we will
charge your credit card. Do you want to do that?’ I found that misleading but accepted
it and decided to make good use of the paid searches for a month and then cacncel.
Cancelling a subscription to monthly higher rates of checking was easy enough to
do, a couple of days before they were due to charge me again. But as soon as we 
hit that due date, the plugin doesn’t work as ‘your account is not connected – go
to settings’. That message is on top of most backend pages. I went to settings where
it says ‘your account is connected’ – not only contradictory, but makes it impossible
to reconnect! But the most annoying feature of this plugin is the false positives(
likes 70 odd). So many ‘broken links’ work perfectly which is a complete waste of
time to test and discover that. At least the ‘ignore’ button reduced me having to
search those ones again and again. The ability to change the URL of a broken link
on the list of broken links is a great time saver and is simple – when it works.
SO many times I changed a URL to find it is just the same on the dashboard and on
the page anyway. So much wasted time on this plugin – the benefit of the links corrected
isn’t enough to warrant the time spent so this plugin is gone.

Seriously? A credit card that you will automatically charge if you scan more than
250 links? Please disclose this upfront so people don’t waste their time. If this
was disclosed up front, I would not have an issue with this.

I own a relatively small website, so I haven’t had many broken links to deal with.
However, this plugin still simplified and accelerated the process a lot. I have 
replaced several external links, improved internal linking, and changed anchor texts
when it was necessary thanks to this plugin. If you suspect that your site has many
links that need to be changed and replaced, I highly recommend it.

It is very concise and clear and thorough with any and all broken links on your 
website. Its a great tool to help boost your website rankings and I love the detail
of exactly what pages its referring to and where that broken link is on my website
pages. And I love how it tracks when links are good and how you can recheck a link
that you fix and I love the broken link checker how to videos produced by AIOSEO
