## Descripcion

Broken links frustrate visitors and waste the SEO value of your content. **IntellectSight
Broken Link Checker** finds every broken link and missing image in your posts and
pages and lets you fix them in one click — without leaving your dashboard.

#### Why another link checker?

 * **No account, no credit card, no cloud.** Every check runs on your own server.
   Nothing about your site is sent to us or to any third-party service.
 * **No limits.** Check 50 links or 500,000. There is no paid tier holding back 
   features.
 * **Light on your database and server.** One row per unique URL (a link used in
   300 posts is checked once), small background batches that stop after 20 seconds,
   and nothing at all runs for your visitors.
 * **Fewer false alarms.** A timeout or server error is re-tested before it is called
   broken. Sites that block automated checks (LinkedIn, some shops and social networks)
   are listed separately as « Blocked » instead of cluttering your broken-link list.
 * **Smart internal checks.** Links to your own posts are checked directly in your
   database — no web request — so it also catches links to drafts, private posts
   and posts in the trash.

#### What it checks

 * Links (`<a href>`) in posts, pages and any public custom post type.
 * Images (`<img src>`) — including image files missing from your uploads folder.
 * Links within your own site — always.
 * Links to other websites — once you switch this on (it is off until you agree;
   see the FAQ).
 * Redirects — see where old links now point and update them to the final URL.

#### Fix links in one click

From the **Broken Links** screen you can, for any link:

 * **Edit URL** — type the new address once and it is updated in every post that
   uses it.
 * **Unlink** — remove the link but keep the text.
 * **Update to new URL** — replace a redirecting link with the address it now ends
   up at.
 * **Not broken** — dismiss a false alarm; it stays dismissed.
 * **Recheck** — test again right now.

Every fix is saved as a normal post update, so a revision is created and you can
always undo it. Bulk actions let you fix many links at once.

#### Everything else you need

 * Filter by Broken, Needs confirmation, Redirects and Blocked, and search by URL
   or link text.
 * See the link text and every post that contains each link.
 * Count of broken links in the admin menu and a Dashboard widget.
 * Optional daily email when new broken links are found.
 * Optional: add `rel="nofollow"` to broken links until you fix them.
 * Optional: strike through broken links on the front end — visible only to logged-
   in editors.
 * Exclude URLs or whole domains (wildcards supported).
 * Export any list to CSV.
 * WP-CLI: `wp link-checker scan` and `wp link-checker report`.
 * Uninstalling removes every table, option and scheduled task the plugin created.

## Installacion

 1. Install the plugin from **Plugins  Add New** (search for « IntellectSight Broken
    Link Checker »), or upload the `intellectsight-broken-link-checker` folder to `/
    wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate it.
 3. Open **Link Checker  Broken Links**. Links within your site are checked straight
    away; keep the page open to see results within a minute or two, or leave it and
    checks continue in the background.
 4. To also check links to other websites, click **Also check links to other websites**
    on that screen (or enable it in Settings).
 5. Optional: open **Link Checker  Settings** to choose content types, excluded URLs
    and email notifications.

## FAQ

### Do I need an account or an API key?

No. The plugin works entirely on your own server and never contacts any service 
of ours.

### Does the plugin send data anywhere?

No. The plugin never contacts IntellectSight or any other service, and it collects
no usage data.

To find out whether a link to another website still works, your server has to request
that link. This is off by default: the plugin only checks links within your own 
site until an administrator turns on « Check links to other websites ». When it 
is on, your server requests only the addresses that appear in your own content, 
using a generic user agent that does not include your site’s address. You can exclude
any domain or URL in Settings.

### Is there a limit on how many links it checks?

No.

### Will it slow down my site?

No. Nothing runs when visitors view your pages (unless you turn on the optional 
nofollow or strike-through features). Checking happens in the background in small
batches every five minutes, each limited to 20 seconds, and the plugin never sends
more than a few requests to the same website at a time.

### Why is a link listed as « Blocked » instead of « Broken »?

Some websites (for example LinkedIn, Amazon and many social networks) refuse requests
that do not come from a normal browser, answering with codes like 403, 429 or 999
even when the page works fine. Rather than wrongly report these as broken, the plugin
lists them under « Blocked » so you can check them in your browser.

### What does « Needs confirmation » mean?

The link failed once with a timeout or a server error. Websites have bad moments,
so the plugin tests it again a few hours later before reporting it as broken. You
can also click « Recheck » to test it now.

### Can I undo a fix?

Yes. Every change is saved as a normal post update, so you can restore the previous
version from the post’s Revisions screen.

### Which content does it check?

Published posts and pages by default. You can add any public custom post type in
Settings.

### Does it work on large sites?

Yes. Links are stored once per unique URL in two small indexed tables, and all work
is done in time-limited batches. On very large sites you can also run a full scan
from the command line with `wp link-checker scan`.

### Where is my data stored?

In two database tables on your site (`wp_isblc_links` and `wp_isblc_instances`).
They are removed when you delete the plugin.
