Broken links are easy to miss.
A page gets deleted, an image is removed, an old upload path changes, or a post still points to something that no longer exists. Everything can look fine in the admin area until a visitor clicks the link and ends up nowhere.
That is too late.
A 404 tracker shows failed requests after they happen. That is useful, but it is reactive. It tells you what visitors or bots already tried to open.
A broken link scanner works earlier because it checks the content itself.
atec Broken Links scans published WordPress posts and pages for broken internal links and missing upload files. The results are stored, so you can work through issues over time without starting from zero after every scan.
For small sites, the scan can run immediately. Larger sites can continue in the background through WP-Cron, one post at a time.
The workflow stays simple: start the scan, see what was checked, fix the issues, and re-scan when needed.
No SEO suite. No crawler monster. Just a focused check for broken links and missing images inside your WordPress content.
