Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Onsite Link Verdict — Broken Link Checker

No. Everything runs on your own server. There is no cloud component and no account.
It is built not to. Work happens in small scheduled batches with a hard cap, not all at once.
No. It finds them and tells you exactly where each one is; you change the link in the post editor. Editing your content automatically is the kind of convenience that goes badly wrong once and costs you a page. Replacing a URL across the whole site in one step is planned as a paid add-on.
Because the server answered us with something that is not 404 or 410. Some servers refuse automated requests — Amazon, X, LinkedIn and anything behind a bot firewall all do. The link is probably fine; open it in your browser to confirm. They are kept separate on purpose. A refusal is not a death: the page is there, and a reader with a browser reaches it. Nor is it something you can fix from your own site, since what a distant server does with an automated request is not yours to configure.
Because it deliberately works in small bites in the background. How long depends on how many links you have and which speed you picked: the panel shows the estimate for your own site next to each setting, under Tools → Onsite Link Verdict. If it is slower than you want, change the setting to Fast — but read what it says there first. Checking faster means hammering the sites you link to harder, and more of them will start refusing the checks, which puts those links in "Couldn't verify" instead of giving you a real answer. I added an exclusion rule and the links are still in the list They leave the list as each post is checked again, not all at once. A rule takes effect the next time Onsite Link Verdict scans the post, page or comment a link sits in — so on a small site they disappear quickly, and on a site with hundreds of posts a full sweep takes several background runs. Nothing is stuck; the list is catching up. If you want a rule to take effect on one specific post right away, open that post and save it. That schedules a fresh scan of it. (Exclusion rules are part of Pro.) The plugin never seems to check anything Your site's cron is probably disabled. Onsite Link Verdict shows a warning at the top of its page when it detects this. Ask your host how to set up a real cron job.
