    Does the Cloud version still offer the very helpful support of suggesting an Internet Archive link for a discovered dead link? This is a key feature of sites I manage, and it’s why I haven’t switched.

    Hello @ejnwebmaster

    Hope you are doing well today.

    I wanted to let you know that unfortunately, the Broken Link Checker does not currently offer an option to create an Internet Archive for broken links.

    Do you happen to know of any similar plugins that provide this functionality? Once I have a clearer understanding of your needs, I can register your request as a feature suggestion.

    Best Regards
    Amin

    Your local plugin does this very well. That feature is a strong reason to stay local.

    However, with all of the bot blocks happening, there is no tool that seems to help with link checking, so we may stop using this in favor of a simpler Google Search Console option.

    Thanks.

    Hi @ejnwebmaster

    I will bring your idea to our developers’ attention to see if we can implement it in future updates.

    The cloud version does show a list of broken links in the HUB, but it’s working a little bit differently than the local version, and since it scans the site using an external crawler, some firewalls may block its requests.

    You can learn more about it in our docs and give it a try to see if fit your needs. You can easily switch between local and cloud versions.
