Install
No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:
wp plugin install https://github.com/hawks010/foundation-pathless/archive/refs/heads/main.zipShips its own WordPress updater (Plugin Update Checker), so new versions show up under Dashboard → Updates.
An asynchronous, self-hosted link checker that finds broken links and accessibility issues without slowing down your site.
Description
Foundation: Pathless is part of the Foundation plugin series by Inkfire Limited — a suite of modular, minimal tools for clean, performant WordPress sites.
Pathless runs in the background, scanning your site's posts and pages for broken links (404s), server errors, and unreachable URLs. It also performs accessibility checks for common issues like generic anchor text. All results are displayed in a clean, actionable dashboard right in your WordPress admin. Because it's a self-hosted solution, you never have to worry about subscriptions or external services.
