I created a simple and fast Broken Link Checker for WordPress

There aren't any reliable free broken link checkers out there, so I decided to create one. Right now, it is a Python script that can be run on any platform. It is multi-threaded and has a lot of room for improvement. Feel free to check out the code and point out the mistakes or leave suggestions. I am newbie programmer :)

I created a simple and fast Broken Link Checker for WordPress launched on October 6, 2022 with 9 votes, #1,233 of 3,153 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.

What it does

A multi-threaded fast script to check broken links on any WordPress website. Checks all the posts, looks for broken internal and external links and save them in a CSV file. - Suleman-Elahi/WpBrokenCheck

    My first webapp is online - a link checker and analysis....2012 · sitecrawl.net · ▲10

    Hi! Long time reader, first time submitter. I've finallllyy got my first webapp online. It's been a long time coming, I started it over a year ago and just been an hour here, a couple of hours here, and a period of a couple of months of nothing. I first wrote it as a way to learn some python it sort of grew to fill a need I had. It's at a point now where I'd LOVE some feedback as I am going round in circules. Please, it's free, just hit the home page, plugin in a name/email and url you want to links checked on. If you use the name 'DeleteMe' I will remove the account after a week, so feel…

    Bernard – a link checker for your website2024 · bernard.app · ▲104

    Introducing Bernard, the project I have been working on solo since November 2022. After months of planning, coding and talking with a small number of potential users, I feel it is time to launch and get some real feedback. GOAL: Bernard is an automated links checker that crawls your website daily, identifying broken links (internal and external), and missing redirects, such as after a redesign or URL change. TARGET AUDIENCE: Anyone with a website—be it is a personal blog or company portal—looking to prevent link rot, to keep old URLs reachable and to avoid the dreaded 404 Page Not Found…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    Hey HN, I 3d scanned the interior of the Great Pyramid / Khufu's pyramid for the Giza Project this summer and just finished the guided version to share. Would love feedback and/or problems you encounter. I used both a Leica BLK 360 and Matterport Pro 2 to do the scanning and the Matterport SDK for the web viewer. Matterport's web display with Three.js has been the most accessible to a wide audience in the past (previous iterations are in Unity and Unreal, but difficult to download over slower connections). I've been interviewing social studies teachers around the 6th grade level to…

  • Last time I posted this it didn't garner much interest. There have been lots of improvements and fixes since the last release. Quick list of features: - Workspaces - Tabs - Nested Folders - Lots of context menus - Response history - Plugins - Runs fully in the browser and runs offline if necessary - Chrome and Firefox extension to bypass CORS restrictions - Desktop builds for all platforms - GraphQL support - Import collections exported from Postman and Insomnia - Simple user friendly interface I built this because I love Insomnia but wanted a portable version that I could run in the…

  • APIs are a little like the open road—always waiting, full of opportunity, but hardly utilized. So here’s America, composed of several APIs that paint a vivid, real-time picture of a good old-fashioned road trip. Get local classifieds and photos. Tune into local radio stations. Talk wit other drivers. And more. Exploring the country by car was an invaluable experience for me during my time in the states. I’ve since moved to Barcelona, and find myself missing the territory. This is my attempt at recreating the magic.
