The Broken Link Checker plugin was established by the same group behind AIOSEO (All in One SEO), the best SEO plugin for WordPress.

Why Do You Need Broken Link Checker?

Broken links can irritate your site visitors and trigger them to leave your website, and they can even injure your site’s SEO, conversions, and sales.

On WordPress websites, broken links usually happen when moving a website to a brand-new domain or erasing a post or page without appropriate redirection.

This is why checking damaged links regularly is necessary for your WordPress site.
