Free WordPress plugin
IndexLane Redirect & Internal Link Auditor
Find broken, redirected, old-domain, staging, and development links in published post, page, and product content. Version 0.2.1 includes a destination-impact view before the full occurrence table and separate CSV exports for each view. The WordPress.org submission is awaiting review under the original WPFixPath package name.
Runtime and privacy
Runs inside WordPress
Scans run on demand from an administrator-only, nonce-protected Tools screen. The plugin uses bounded WordPress safe HTTP requests only for same-site targets; old, staging, and development-domain links are flagged without being fetched. Completed results are kept in a per-user transient for up to one hour so both CSV exports reuse the displayed scan. No account, external service, scheduled job, telemetry, or frontend tracking is involved.

Requires WordPress 6.0+ and PHP 7.4+; the submitted archive was tested through WordPress 7.1 and PHP 8.5. Each run scans at most 100 of the newest published items across the selected supported content types and makes at most 250 outbound requests; redirect hops consume the same budget. It does not crawl menus, widgets, theme templates, page-builder metadata, shortcode output, or rendered frontend pages.
