Frequently asked questions
How does this tool identify broken links on a WordPress page?↓
The crawler loads the requested webpage HTML, extracts all anchor links (<a href>) and image sources (<img src>), and conducts fast HEAD status checks to identify 404 Not Found, 410 Gone, redirect loops, and dropped connections.
Does running this scan slow down my client’s server?↓
No. The scanner makes controlled, lightweight HTTP requests with a concurrency cap of 5. Unlike heavy WordPress PHP crawler plugins that exhaust MySQL memory, our scan runs entirely in cloud memory outside your WordPress hosting.
Should I fix external broken links or just internal ones?↓
Both are important. Internal 404s hurt search rankings and frustrate buyers. Dead external links degrade Google’s quality trust score and give visitors the impression that your agency abandoned the website.
Can I check my entire WordPress sitemap automatically?↓
The free tool checks up to 50 links on one page at a time. In the SITEOPS agency dashboard, our background crawler audits your entire client XML sitemap every night and alerts you before clients ever see a 404.
