Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Broken Link Checker by AIOSEO – Find & Fix Broken Internal, External & Video Links

No. The link scanning runs on AIOSEO's servers rather than your own, so checking your links does not use your site's resources or affect page speed.

Yes. Because Broken Link Checker runs as a cloud service, it requires an AIOSEO account. The free account scans up to 250 internal links per month, and those credits renew every month.

Yes. Broken Link Checker checks internal links, external links, and broken images. It also checks video links and verifies whether the video still exists on YouTube, Vimeo, and more than ten other platforms.

A video page can return a working status even after the video was deleted or made private. Broken Link Checker detects video links and checks the video itself, so it can flag videos that are gone even when the URL still loads. It does the same for embedded players, including the iframe a page builder or a pasted embed code leaves behind.

Yes. You can edit, unlink, or remove a broken link directly from the Broken Link Checker dashboard, and the change is saved back to your content for you.

Broken Link Checker runs automatic scans on a schedule, and you can choose the recheck frequency in the settings. Paid subscriptions can monitor more frequently and cover more links.

Yes. Broken Link Checker reads layouts built with Elementor, Divi (4 and 5), WPBakery Page Builder, SiteOrigin Page Builder, Avada Builder, and SeedProd, as well as the WordPress block editor. Links inside those layouts are found and reported, including the pictures a block or a section background points at. Fixing one takes you into the builder that owns the page, since the report cannot safely rewrite a layout.

No. It also checks custom fields (including ACF), navigation menus, category and tag descriptions, author bios and websites, post excerpts, and block content stored outside your posts such as synced patterns, templates, and navigation blocks. Each of these can be switched on or off in the settings.

Yes. You can enable a weekly email that lists the links that broke since the last report, and a monthly summary of your site's overall link health. You choose who receives them in the settings.

The report tells you why each check failed, and some of those reasons will not stop you personally. A destination can block automated requests, answer too slowly, or ask to be signed in to, so the page opens for you while a checker is turned away. A certificate error is the opposite case: the server answers normally, but a browser stops your visitors with a warning screen. If a link really is fine and you would rather it was not checked, add it to the exclusion list.
