By VLINK ASIA
VLink Broken Links Scout is a WordPress Plugin Directory app by VLINK ASIA.
AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
VLink Broken Links Scout is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by VLINK ASIA — established developer track record
Cons
- −No public reviews yet — fit and reliability are unverified

How VLink Broken Links Scout works
Show full descriptionShow less
Find every broken or redirecting internal link in your WordPress content, and fix them in bulk.
VLink Broken Links Scout reads your content straight from the database, so the front-end never gets crawled and visitors are never slowed down. Every fix is preceded by a one-click-restorable snapshot, so you can replace links across hundreds of posts without fearing a typo.
How it works
Scan your content for internal links.
Check each URL with a real HTTP request and classify the response.
Fix broken URLs and permanent redirects (301 / 308) one at a time or in bulk.
What gets flagged
Broken: 404 Not Found, 410 Gone.
Safe to auto-replace: 301 Moved Permanently, 308 Permanent Redirect.
Informational only: 302 / 303 / 307 (the original URL is still authoritative, so the plugin will not auto-replace them).
How you fix things
One link at a time: open the Change Link modal, see the suggested target, replace across every post that uses it.
In bulk: filter by status, preview the diff, then apply.
Always reversible: every fix creates a snapshot you can restore in one click.
Audit trail: every change is logged with old URL, new URL, posts touched, user, and timestamp.
Built for safety
Snapshot before every change. Restore is one click away.
Background work runs in small bounded batches with retry on timeout, so visitor requests are never blocked.
Optional scheduled scan with a clean HTML email summary.
RFC 3986 and RFC 9110 compliant URL handling, so http vs https, www vs non-www, and trailing slash variants are all matched correctly.
Privacy The plugin does not collect, store, or transmit personal data about visitors or administrators. No third-party API calls. No telemetry. No analytics. No call-home.
The only outbound traffic is HTTP requests to the URLs already present in your own content, in order to read their response codes. No cookies, no Referer header, and no request body are sent.
The optional scheduled-scan email report sends a plain summary to the WordPress admin address you configure; nothing leaves your server otherwise.
