Older link checkers are notorious for slowing down your frontend and overloading servers. We built SEO Hacker Broken Link Scanner & Fixer differently: it runs 100% asynchronously in the background, consuming zero frontend resources, while aggressively hunting down 404s, 500s, SSL errors, and timeouts. Whether you’re fixing a handful of broken URLs on a personal blog or managing thousands of 301 redirects on a massive WooCommerce store, SEO Hacker Broken Link Scanner & Fixer gives you the tools to fix them all with a single click. **Native Page Builder Support** Unlike other scanners that only check standard WordPress content, our engine deeply integrates with **Elementor**, **Gutenberg**, and **Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)**. We parse complex JSON data structures and serialized arrays to ensure every link on your site is checked. **In-Editor Live Fixing** Stop hunting for links! SEO Hacker Broken Link Scanner& Fixer adds a native sidebar to the **Gutenberg Block Editor** and a dedicated add- on panel directly inside the **Elementor Editor**. You can see and fix broken links instantly while you are writing or designing your pages, without ever leaving the editor. ### Core Features * **High-Performance Active Scanner:** Scans posts, pages, custom post types, custom fields (meta), options, and comments without slowing down your site. * **Passive Tracking:** Automatically detects 404 errors encountered by real visitors in real-time. * **Elementor & Gutenberg Editor Add-ons:** Fix broken links live directly from inside the Elementor and Gutenberg editing screens. * **Advanced URL Replacer Engine:** Safely updates URLs even when deeply buried in Elementor JSON data or ACF serialized arrays. * **Dedicated Redirects Manager:** Clean up your 301, 302, and 307 redirects to pass full SEO link equity and improve page load speed. * **Role-Based Access Control:** Allow Authors and Editors to manage broken links exclusively within their own posts. * **Scheduled Email Reports:** Receive daily, weekly, or monthly summaries of your site’s link health, plus urgent alerts for critical outages. * **Smart Exclusions:** Ignore specific URLs or entire domains using wildcards or Regular Expressions (Regex). ## Screenshots [⌊The central dashboard showing all broken links and redirects.⌉⌊The central dashboard showing all broken links and redirects.⌉[ The central dashboard showing all broken links and redirects.
