It shows a lot of broken links, 404 Not Found, but when I checked, the link was
good.
### [Works great!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-great-6338/)

I installed this and after a few minutes got the hang of it. It showed me some links
that were an incorrect format and a broken one. Works like a charm. Thanks! Any
chance of adding this to the dashboard?
### [Problematic plug-in](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problematic-plug-in/)

I was optimistic when it quickly reported that it had found 59 broken links that
the previous link checker hadn't. From then on however it's been downhill. The plug-
in seemingly specialises in generating false reports (or at least reporting links
that appear to be working). Breaking the tag in images and tables and aligning
your website left. Breaking the open in separate tab HTML attribute. And inserting%
0D%0A into a link (hence breaking it) It's probably going to cost me a few days
labour now to repair the damage this plug-in has caused, and consequently its been
deactivated. You just can't trust it. I'm fearful also about how much other sabotage
it's performed. Not really sure it should be out there based on my experience. It
doesn't look fit for purpose. It's broken every single link in posts and pages that
was set up to open a separate tab It's a shame, as I had high hopes for it, but
its done a lot of damage to the layout
### [Helpful plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/helpful-plugin-144/)

I have many broken links in my website and using this plugin I have resolved broken
link issues. Quick fix and convenient to use. It has some issue to use, but nice.
Good. Very helpful and thank you.

There is no button to tell the plugin to START running! So I have no idea if it
will randomly decide when it will run. Or if it will ever run at all. It shows Checking
status No internal or external broken links found. No links Detected. Which is absolutely
incorrect. I suspect it sais this because it has never run yet. But even then, the
message is misleading. And there appears to be no way to tell it TO run. The video
looks promising. But probably it is not ready for actual use yet. Probably this
should be labeled as a Alpha (or Beta) testing version !! It is also *possible*
that the button is hidden somewhere, other than the Plugin's ONLY page ?? Or that
it will decide to run on its own, whenever IT FEELS like it (which I believes would
be a POOR decision on the developer's behalf), and that once it *does decide* to
run, it's wonderful. But it is unlikely to be the case. honestly, I believe it to
be not ready for prime time yet, and will likelly uninstall immediately. I *want*
it to work, so I may keep an eye on this plugin, and try again as it begins to mature.
Note that at this point, it only has 20 installs !!!
