What is Best Broken Link Checker for Wordpress?

5 replies
Hey Gang,

I tried to run my site with W3C Link Checker to check my site for broken links... however, it won't
check any of my outgoing affiliate links due to the fact that I have my affiliate links folder being hidden in KBRobots.txt.

So, does anyone use a good broken link checker without having to go into edit my KBRobots.txt file every time?

In Many Thanks,
Tommy

      Yeah, I was going to use that but I heard that it is really heavy on server resources... especially on a larger sites... so, are their any other alternatives especially for larger sites?

        How about taking the protection off the folder in the robots file, do the backlink check then reactivate it?

          Yeah, this look like the only way around it.

    I advice you not to use any wordpress plugin if you have more then 1000 pages. It will slow down your server and possibly can crash it.
