CubeMage Smart Link Checker<\/strong> is a tool designed to help maintain site health by identifying broken links.<\/p>\n\n

It aims to address common issues found in link checking tools, such as high server resource usage and false positives on external links.<\/p>\n\n

Key Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • User-Agent Rotation:<\/strong> Simulates standard browser headers during HTTP requests to reduce \"403 Forbidden\" false positives often seen with links from Amazon or YouTube.<\/li>\n
  • Adjustable Check Interval:<\/strong> Allows administrators to set a specific delay (e.g., 0.5s) between link checks to manage server CPU load.<\/li>\n
  • Internal & External Detection:<\/strong> Scans Posts and Pages, categorizing links as Internal or External for easier management.<\/li>\n
  • Email Reporting:<\/strong> Sends a summary email upon scan completion.<\/li>\n
  • Direct Fix Links:<\/strong> Provides shortcuts to edit posts containing broken links.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Usage:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

      \n
    1. Go to the \"Link Checker\"<\/strong> menu.<\/li>\n
    2. Configure settings (optional).<\/li>\n
    3. Click \"Start Full Scan\"<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    4. Review the results table.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Upload the plugin files to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/cubemage-smart-link-checker<\/code> directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen.<\/li>\n
      2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n
      3. Use the Link Checker<\/strong> menu to start scanning.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n

        How does the scan affect server performance?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        The plugin processes links in batches via AJAX and includes a configurable \"sleep\" interval between requests to minimize server load.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does it support Amazon affiliate links?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. The plugin includes a User-Agent rotation feature intended to improve the accuracy of status checks for external services that block generic bot requests.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
