Overview

About this plugin

SEO Hacker Broken Link Scanner & Fixer is a next-generation link scanner built strictly for performance. Older link checkers are notorious for slowing down your frontend and overloading servers. We built SEO Hacker Broken Link Scanner & Fixer differently: it runs 100% asynchronously in the background, consuming zero frontend resources, while aggressively hunting down 404s, 500s, SSL errors, and timeouts.

Whether you’re fixing a handful of broken URLs on a personal blog or managing thousands of 301 redirects on a massive WooCommerce store, SEO Hacker Broken Link Scanner & Fixer gives you the tools to fix them all with a single click.

Native Page Builder Support

Unlike other scanners that only check standard WordPress content, our engine deeply integrates with Elementor, Gutenberg, and Advanced Custom Fields (ACF). We parse complex JSON data structures and serialized arrays to ensure every link on your site is checked.

In-Editor Live Fixing

Stop hunting for links! SEO Hacker Broken Link Scanner & Fixer adds a native sidebar to the Gutenberg Block Editor and a dedicated add-on panel directly inside the Elementor Editor. You can see and fix broken links instantly while you are writing or designing your pages, without ever leaving the editor.

Core Features

  • High-Performance Active Scanner: Scans posts, pages, custom post types, custom fields (meta), options, and comments without slowing down your site.
  • Passive Tracking: Automatically detects 404 errors encountered by real visitors in real-time.
  • Elementor & Gutenberg Editor Add-ons: Fix broken links live directly from inside the Elementor and Gutenberg editing screens.
  • Advanced URL Replacer Engine: Safely updates URLs even when deeply buried in Elementor JSON data or ACF serialized arrays.
  • Dedicated Redirects Manager: Clean up your 301, 302, and 307 redirects to pass full SEO link equity and improve page load speed.
  • Role-Based Access Control: Allow Authors and Editors to manage broken links exclusively within their own posts.
  • Scheduled Email Reports: Receive daily, weekly, or monthly summaries of your site’s link health, plus urgent alerts for critical outages.
  • Smart Exclusions: Ignore specific URLs or entire domains using wildcards or Regular Expressions (Regex).
