Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Broken Link Notifier
No — The plugin is designed to have minimal impact on performance by only scanning content after the page has fully loaded for a visitor. This means it doesn’t interfere with the page render or user experience. Additionally, in version 1.2.5, we introduced a link caching option that can further improve performance. If enabled (via the Settings page), caching good links will prevent the same working links from being rechecked repeatedly for a set period of time. This reduces unnecessary HTTP requests and improves scan efficiency on high-traffic sites. You can set the cache duration in seconds — common values include: - 28800 for 8 hours - 43200 for 12 hours - 86400 for 24 hours Adjust this based on your site's traffic and how frequently your links change.
If the link works fine and it's still being flagged as broken, then it is likely either redirecting to another page or there is an issue with the page's response headers, and there's nothing we can do about it. If it is a redirect on your own site due to permalink modification, then it's better to fix the link instead of unnecessarily redirecting. You may use the Omit option to omit false positives from future scans as well. If you are seeing a pattern with multiple links from the same domain, you can go to Broken Link Notifier > Omitted Links to add a domain with a wildcard (*), which will omit all links starting with that domain. If you feel that there is another issue at hand, We are happy to look into it further with you.
Warnings mean the link was found, but they may be unsecure or slow to respond. If you are getting too many warnings due to timeouts, try increasing your timeout in Settings. This will just result in longer wait times, but with more accuracy. You can also disable warnings if you have too many of them.
A status code of 666 is a code we use to force invalid URL code 0 to be a broken link in case warnings are disabled. It is not an official status code.
Yes, you can omit links from being checked for validity by using the "Omit" link in the scan results, or by entering them in manually under Omitted Links. Likewise, you can omit pages from being scanned from the results page or Omitted Pages. Wildcards (*) are accepted.
Sometimes links are hidden with CSS or inside modals/popups. To find hidden links, go to the page and either open your developer console or view the page source and search for the link. This will show you where it is and which element to look in. Then you can edit the page accordingly. This is more advanced and may require some assistance, so feel free to reach out to us for help.
The Multi-Scan link count does not include links that are filtered out from the pre-check.
We skip links that start with # (anchor tags and JavaScript) or ? (query strings), non-http url schemes (such as mailto:, tel:, data:, etc. ), and any links you have omitted.
There are other plugins such as Better Search Replace by WP Engine that will quickly replace URLs on your entire site at once.
There is likely an issue with the content on that page causing a redirect. We cannot intercept all redirected content unfortunately. If that is the case, you can omit the page being scanned so you can continue scanning the entire page the next time you try.
