Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Link Invader
No. Your posts, pages, links, and scan results never leave your site. Scanning runs on your server, and the only requests the plugin makes are HTTP requests to the links that appear in your own content, to check whether they work, the same requests a visitor's browser would make by clicking them. Nothing is checked in a cloud, so there is no quota and no account. There is one exception, and you are asked about it up front. See the next question.
Link Invader uses the Freemius SDK to handle licensing and updates for the paid version. When you activate the plugin, Freemius asks whether you are willing to share basic diagnostic information about your site (the details are listed on that screen: your site address, your admin email, and your WordPress and PHP environment). It is entirely your choice. If you skip it, the plugin works exactly the same. Nothing is sent. If you accept, only that diagnostic information is shared with Freemius. Your content and your scan results are never included either way. Freemius is the service that also runs checkout and license keys for Link Invader Pro. Their terms are at https://freemius.com/terms/ and their privacy policy at https://freemius.com/privacy/.
The scanner was engineered for cheap shared hosting: it works in short budgeted slices, limits parallel requests per host, checks internal links through WordPress instead of HTTP, and never runs work during a visitor's page view. On our 2-worker acceptance test rig, scanning ~1,000 links added roughly 10 ms to average front-end response time.
Some sites (Amazon, LinkedIn, sites behind certain firewalls) refuse automated checks even though they work fine in a browser. Older link checkers report these as broken; Link Invader gives them their own "Blocked" status so you can tell the difference at a glance.
When a visitor views a page, Link Invader bumps that page's links to the front of the recheck queue (one small throttled database write, nothing more). The actual checking still happens later inside the scanner's normal budgets. You can turn this off in settings.
