Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about 404Zen – Broken Link Fixer & Monitor

Three things: it runs entirely on your own server (your URLs never leave your site), scanning is unlimited and free with no monthly credits, and it doesn't just report broken links — it grades your whole site A–F and lets you fix links in one click without opening the editor.

Yes. Set it to scan hourly, twice daily, daily or weekly and it works as an ongoing 404 monitor — re-checking your site on schedule and updating your Link Health Grade, so new broken links surface on their own instead of waiting for you to look.

No. There is no account to create and no scanning service — all link checking runs on your own server using the WordPress HTTP API, and your URLs never leave your site. Two optional exceptions send data only when you act: the bundled Freemius SDK (Pro licensing/checkout) sends nothing unless you open the upgrade, checkout or license screens, and the product-updates opt-in sends your email only if you explicitly tick it. See the External services section for full details.

No. Checks run in small background batches via WP-Cron, pause between requests, and stop after a short time budget. 404Zen also watches your server's load average and skips its run entirely while the server is busy.

HTTP status 400 and above (404, 410, 500, …), connection failures, DNS errors and timeouts. Links that pass through two or more redirects are flagged separately as redirect chains.

Yes. Image sources (<img src>) are checked the same way as links. You can turn this off in Settings.

Yes. Settings lets you exclude any post type and any URL pattern (a simple substring match, one per line).

Right from the dashboard: edit the URL inline, unlink it (keeping the text), or dismiss it if it's a false positive. You never have to open the post editor.

If you've disabled WP-Cron and use a real cron job that calls wp-cron.php, 404Zen works normally. Without any cron at all, scans run opportunistically on page visits, like every other WP-Cron task.

The free version works on individual sites of a network. Network-wide management is part of 404Zen Pro.
