To automatically monitor and receive notifications for broken links in WordPress, you can use dedicated plugins such as Broken Link Checker or Broken Link Notifier.
Broken Link Checker is a widely used plugin that scans your posts, pages, comments, and custom fields for broken or redirected URLs automatically. It provides a centralized dashboard where you can view broken links, edit URLs, unlink, or dismiss alerts. Importantly, it can send you email notifications when broken links are detected, so you stay informed without manual checks. The plugin supports cloud-based scanning for faster and more accurate results and allows you to exclude certain post types or URLs from scanning. It also detects broken images and supports multisite installations.
Broken Link Notifier is another plugin that automatically scans your site for broken links and notifies you via email, Discord, or Microsoft Teams. It performs page load scans and multi-scans on your public-facing post types. You can configure notification methods, omit specific pages or links from scanning, and test the notification system by creating broken links on test pages.
Steps to set up automatic monitoring and notifications:
-
Install and activate a broken link monitoring plugin like Broken Link Checker or Broken Link Notifier from the WordPress plugin repository.
-
Configure the plugin settings to specify which post types to scan and set up your preferred notification method (email, Discord, Teams, etc.).
-
Optionally, exclude pages or URLs you don’t want scanned to reduce false positives and speed up scans.
-
The plugin will automatically scan your site at regular intervals and notify you when broken links are found.
-
Use the plugin dashboard to quickly fix broken links by editing URLs, unlinking, or dismissing alerts.
This approach ensures continuous monitoring of your WordPress site’s links, helping maintain SEO health and user experience without manual effort.
