    Off the top of my head, one plugin I can think of is WordPress › Broken Link Checker « WordPress Plugins I know there are others, but I forget their names. If that's not what you're looking for, then do a search on the WordPress Plugin Directory and I'm sure you'll be able to find something.

      I second "Broken Link Checker" I have used it and it slowly scans all of the links on your site and gives you the opportunity to check and repair each one or remove the link.

      It runs quietly in the background.

    Check out Fiverr.

    Plenty of gigs there that can help you out with errors!

    Maybe have to pay more than 5 bucks to fix them all though.

    Hard to believe that. It is quire shocking news to me. You can solve this problem easily. But for that reason you need to bear some cost.

    Don't fix it, just monetize your 404 with affiliate links or your own products.

    Broken link checker is a great little plugin. It not only checks one time for broken links (like if you're taking over a site for a client or they're changing webmasters), but it will also update you if a newly broken link is found. Invaluable!
