Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about 404Zen – Broken Link Fixer & Monitor

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 monitors 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 (simple substring match, one per line).

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

If you have 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 WP-Cron task.

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

A = clean. Grades weigh broken links, redirect chains and scan freshness. The dashboard explains your grade and exactly how to raise it.
