 * This plugin does a link check on the fly when you load a page and adds strikethroughs
   to your links if they are broken. If your site doesn’t allow https PHP connections,
   ALL https links show up as broken.
 * On top of all of this, it does this check on the frontend when you load a page.
   This can increase load times in the upwards of 7+ seconds. Absolutely unaccepatable.
