  1. Check for Broken Links 3.1.6Latest

    • 30 October 2026 * Security: Dismissing the connect banner now checks that you can manage the plugin, like every other action. * Improvement: Starting a scan with comment scanning on is lighter on large sites. It no longer loads every approved comment into memory first. * Improvement: Scan results a…

  2. Check for Broken Links 3.1.5

    • 15 October 2026 * Change: The plugin and brokenlinkchecker.io now count the same links as broken. Server errors (5xx), 401 and 408 answers are warnings, since they are often temporary or refuse the checker. Every other 4xx answer is broken, and so are hosts that do not resolve and certificate error…

  3. Check for Broken Links 3.1.4

    • 4 October 2026 * New: Redesigned Dashboard. Site link health shows as a score ring next to your scan schedule, each SEO tool has its own card with its status and latest figure, and a counter shows how many of the five tools are set up. * Security: Fix redirect now only writes a clean http or https…

  4. Check for Broken Links 3.1.3

    • 25 September 2026 * New: Remove URL parameters on the Settings and SEO / AEO Audit pages. The crawler treats example.com/?a=1 and example.com/?a=2 as the same page, so audits skip duplicates.

  5. Check for Broken Links 3.1.2

    • 25 September 2026 * Fix: The plugin activates on a new site again. Since 3.1.0 activation stopped with a fatal error about wpcbl_has_pro().

  6. Check for Broken Links 3.1.1

    • 12 September 2026 * Improvement: The Dashboard lists the SEO tools as one row each, name, status, one line on what it does and the next step, in place of the grid of cards. The three status cards share one white style, and the tip of the week is a banner under the tools. * New: After three complete…

  7. Check for Broken Links 3.1.0

    • 11 September 2026 * Fix: Automatic scans run again. Since 2.0.0 the plugin cleared its own schedule, so the daily, weekly and monthly setting never ran a scan. Pro sites now get the scan at the time and timezone they picked. A site that turns Pro is scheduled on its next admin visit. * Fix: Automat…

  8. Check for Broken Links 3.0.9

    • 7 September 2026 * Fix: Scans finish on big sites. The scan now runs as a series of short steps and saves its progress after each one, so the host’s execution limit no longer kills it. Sites with a few hundred posts used to stop after a minute or two with Something went wrong. * Fix: A scan step th…

  9. Check for Broken Links 3.0.8

    • 28 August 2026 * New: Dashboard is now an overview.
