Broken link checker

Find dead links in your own content, and fix them with a redirect in one click.

WPFixAgent scans your site's own published posts and pages -- not a full crawl of the internet -- for links that return an error. Internal broken links (pointing at your own site) can be fixed directly with a redirect; external ones are flagged for review, since a link to someone else's dead page isn't something WPFixAgent can repair.

Scoped to what you actually publish

The scan checks links inside your own published posts and pages -- up to a bounded, reasonable number per run -- rather than attempting an unbounded crawl of the entire internet.

Internal vs. external, shown separately

Each finding is marked as pointing at your own site or an external one, along with the HTTP status it returned and every page that links to it.

One-click redirects for internal links

Enter the correct destination and create a real 301 redirect -- WordPress then automatically sends visitors and search engines from the old broken URL to the new one, so existing links and bookmarks keep working.

External links are flagged, not silently fixed

A dead link to a page you don't control is surfaced for your review -- WPFixAgent can't and won't try to repair a site it doesn't manage.

Redirects stay manageable

Every active redirect you've created is listed in one place and can be removed at any time.

What this feature is, and isn't

Checks your own published content, not the whole internet

Internal fixes create real 301 redirects, not a broken-link cover-up

External findings are reviewed by you, never auto-modified

Redirects are visible and removable at any time

Practical guidance

Go deeper before changing a live site.

FAQ

Common questions

Does this fix links on other websites?

No. External broken links are flagged for your review only -- WPFixAgent has no ability to change a page it doesn't control.

What does creating a redirect actually do?

It adds a 301 (permanent) redirect rule so anyone visiting the old broken URL is automatically sent to the destination you specify -- standard WordPress redirect behavior, not a special workaround.

How often should I run a scan?

Run it on demand, especially after restructuring content, deleting pages, or migrating URLs -- the kinds of changes that actually create broken links.

Does this replace a full SEO audit tool?

No -- it's scoped specifically to your own published content's broken links and redirects, not a general-purpose SEO crawler.
