Description
This plugin filters links to broken pages. If a link returns a 404 tha Link is filtered from the content.
The Link-Text stays and is wrapped in a span, so you can style broken links if you want.
The Links are checked every 24 hours.
If you update a Post the Links in the post will be rechecked automatically.
Please be aware that this can cause some additional loading time on the first page load as the plugin is fetching the Links and checks if the sites are available.
Please let us know about features you would like to see in future releases!
