Description
CubeMage Smart Link Checker is a tool designed to help maintain site health by identifying broken links.
It aims to address common issues found in link checking tools, such as high server resource usage and false positives on external links.
Key Features:
- User-Agent Rotation: Simulates standard browser headers during HTTP requests to reduce “403 Forbidden” false positives often seen with links from Amazon or YouTube.
- Adjustable Check Interval: Allows administrators to set a specific delay (e.g., 0.5s) between link checks to manage server CPU load.
- Internal & External Detection: Scans Posts and Pages, categorizing links as Internal or External for easier management.
- Email Reporting: Sends a summary email upon scan completion.
- Direct Fix Links: Provides shortcuts to edit posts containing broken links.
Usage:
- Go to the “Link Checker” menu.
- Configure settings (optional).
- Click “Start Full Scan”.
- Review the results table.
