Description

The Broken Links Checker add-on automatically checks all internal and external links from the sites managed by MainWP, identifying broken URLs, redirects, and error responses directly in the central dashboard. Built for agencies and professionals managing multiple WordPress sites, it consolidates the issues detected on each network site into a single screen, eliminating the need to install individual link checkers on every installation to maintain link integrity.
