KW Performance
Automatically crawl your WordPress site's frontend, detect broken links (404s, 410s, broken/looping redirects, and 5xx server errors), log exactly where each broken link lives on the page, and get notified by email — all from one clean admin screen.
- Plugin Slug: kw-performance
- Author: KW Developers (kilowott.com)
- Requires: WordPress 5.8+, PHP 8.0+
- Download: Latest release (zip)
Features
- Crawls published pages, posts, custom post types, and post type archives.
- Extracts every on the rendered page (ignoring mailto:, tel:, javascript:, #anchor, and empty links).
- Validates each unique URL once per scan (deduplicated) using the WordPress HTTP API, manually following redirects to report the full chain (301/302/307/308), the final URL, and the final HTTP status.
- Flags 404, 410, 5xx responses, connection errors/timeouts, and redirect loops as broken.
- Detects the DOM context of every broken link: nearest ancestor CSS class/ID, all ancestor classes, and Gutenberg (wp-block-) / Elementor (elementor-widget-) markers when present.
- Stores results in a dedicated database table ({prefix}kwperflogs) with detection counts, first/last seen timestamps, and auto-r
