Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Kandeshop Broken Links Checker version 1.4.2 as active, updated 11mo ago and tested up to WordPress 6.8.
Overview
About this plugin
The Kandeshop Broken Links Checker is a WordPress plugin designed to identify and list broken or non-functional external links. It scans through your site in batches and organizes links into five tabs:
Broken/Unreachable Links: Shows all links (internal and external) that return an error (404, 500) or are unreachable (timeout).
Working External Links: Shows all links that are NOT on your own domain and return a successful status.
Pages Checked: Lists all posts and pages that have been scanned in your current session.
Guide & Limitations: A simple “how-to” guide with important warnings about how the plugin works.
Status Code Explanations: A full explanation of what each error (404, 403, 999, cURL 28) actually means.
The plugin now intelligently categorizes errors and features a real-time progress indicator that shows you exactly which post is being scanned.
Usage
Go to the admin dashboard.
Find the ‘Broken Links’ option in the main menu and click it.
Read the Guide & Limitations tab to understand how the plugin works.
On the ‘Broken Links Checker’ page, set the number of posts/pages per batch.
Click the ‘Check Next Batch’ button.
A real-time progress bar will appear, showing you which post is currently being scanned.
Results will be added to the appropriate tabs as they are found.
Click “Clear All Results” to reset the scan and start over.
