Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview
About this plugin
Codesala Broken Link Fixer is a lightweight WordPress plugin by Codesala that automatically scans all your posts and pages for broken links (HTTP 404, 500, and other error codes), and lets you fix them — right from your WordPress dashboard.
Built by Bikas Kumar at Codesala using the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate.
Key Features
One-click scan — Scan your entire site with a single button click.

Replace URL — Replace a broken URL with a working one. Post content is updated automatically.
Remove Link — Remove a broken link’s anchor tag while keeping the visible text.
Ignore Link — Mark a link as ignored so it won’t clutter your results.

HTTP status display — See the exact error code (404, 500, 403, Timeout, etc.) for each broken link.
Scheduled automatic scanning — Set up hourly, daily, or weekly automated scans via WP-Cron.
Email notifications — Receive an email alert whenever broken links are found.
Clean uninstall — Removes all database tables and plugin options on uninstall.
