Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Hrefix

No. Link extraction, storage, checking, and redirects are local to your WordPress installation.

No.

Only the link checks themselves: a HEAD (or GET) request to each URL found in your content, so Hrefix can see whether it still works. These requests start only after you click “Start link checking” in Tools > Hrefix, and you can limit them to your own site by turning off external link checking in Settings. Hrefix does not send tracking data, telemetry, or site data to a third-party API.

Broken links are rechecked daily by default. OK links are rechecked every 7 days by default. Developers can filter these intervals.

4xx/5xx responses and connection errors are broken. HTTP 429 and timeouts are warnings until they fail 3 consecutive times.

Yes. For broken internal links, Hrefix suggests similar published permalinks and can create a local 301 redirect. You can also add redirects manually.

Some link checkers send your site's URLs to a hosted scanning service and need an account. Hrefix does the work on your own server: links are stored in your WordPress database and checked through the WordPress HTTP API. There is no account to create, no API key and no usage limit set by a third party.

It is built not to. Hrefix works in small WP-Cron batches every five minutes, in a separate background request rather than inside the page a visitor is loading. Each batch checks a small number of links (adjustable in Settings), uses lightweight HEAD requests where the server allows it, and waits between rechecks: broken links once a day, working links once a week. You can pause checking at any time.

Yes. Hrefix stays fully usable for free. Hrefix Pro is an optional add-on that adds a 404 monitor with redirect suggestions, a bulk redirect fixer, scanning of menus, widgets and custom fields, a weekly email report and CSV export. See Hrefix Pro.
