Free WordPress plugin
Find broken links, redirects, and leftover old-site or staging URLs. Open the right WordPress screen to edit each link, then compare your fixes with a saved scan. The plugin reports problems without changing your content.
What you can do
See which links fail, which pages receive internal links, and what changed after your edits.
Repair
Problem URLs are grouped with the number of links and places that need editing. You can distinguish a link in a shared footer from a link inside an individual page.
Each result shows the link text, redirects, final destination, and the WordPress edit screen for that link.
Coverage
For each selected published page or post, the report separates links from individual content and shared areas such as menus. Open the details to see the actual links and where to edit them.
The count covers only the areas you selected. A zero does not prove that a page is orphaned: the plugin does not render the frontend, execute shortcodes, or read unsupported page-builder data.
Verify
Save a completed scan, edit the links in WordPress, and run a fix check. It repeats the saved selection and request settings so the comparison covers the same work.
The comparison shows new, changed, resolved, and remaining problems, with the old and latest redirects, destinations, and link counts.

Scan, save, verify
Choose what to scan and save the results. After you edit the links in WordPress, run the same checks again.
Select content, menus, Navigation blocks, synced patterns, templates, template parts, and assigned block widgets. For content, choose the public post types and scan all published items or only the newest items.
Each batch reads up to five sources and makes up to five web requests. Progress shows how much has been checked and which links need attention. Repeated destinations reuse results from the same scan.
Pause, reload, and resume without losing progress, or cancel the scan. The current scan remains available for up to 24 hours after activity. You can also save one completed scan for a later comparison.
Open the edit link in each result to make your changes. Then compare with the saved scan or download the saved JSON and comparison CSV.
Four reports
Open or download the completed reports without running another scan.
Coverage
See incoming links for each included page or post, separated into content links and links from menus or shared areas.
Prioritize URLs
Broken, error, and redirected URLs are grouped so you can prioritize a target by times linked and exact editable sources affected.
Where to edit
Each link result includes its location and an edit link to the right WordPress screen.
Before and after
Compare the saved and latest results using the same scan selection.

Only a WordPress administrator can start a scan. The current scan stays available for up to 24 hours after activity, and one saved scan stays until that administrator replaces or deletes it. Results remain in WordPress. The plugin creates no IndexLane account, sends no telemetry, tracks no visitors, and makes no automatic content changes.
Requires WordPress 6.0+ and PHP 7.4+ and is tested through WordPress 7.1. Version 0.6.0 reads selected stored sources; it does not render the frontend. A scan can snapshot at most 100,000 sources. Each browser-driven batch processes at most five sources and makes at most five outbound HTTP requests. The initial allowance is 250 actual requests including redirect hops, and an administrator can add 250 at a time without losing progress. Block widgets are included only when their stored structure is available and the widget is assigned to a widget area.
Free and open source
Install version 0.6.0 from the official WordPress Plugin Directory, then open Tools → Redirect & Internal Link Auditor in wp-admin.
