Does LinkGuard slow down my website?

No. Scans run in small background batches tuned for shared hosting, so your visitors never feel it — there is zero impact on your front end.

Is there a limit on how many links I can scan?

No. LinkGuard scans every link on your site, free, forever. There are no credits, caps or metering of any kind.

Do I need an account?

No. Install the plugin and the first scan starts automatically. No signup, no API key, no email required.

Does it check external links and images?

Yes, both. LinkGuard checks internal links, external links, images and redirects across your whole site.

Can it automatically redirect broken links?

Auto-redirects are a Pro feature. Free users can still fix or unlink any broken link in one click; Pro adds one-click and scheduled auto-redirects.

Where is my data stored?

In your own WordPress database. Nothing ever leaves your server — LinkGuard has no cloud component at all.

The LinkGuard dashboard at grade B — links healthy, checklist advancing

Every broken link is a visitor lost and a signal to Google that your site is decaying. The average five-year-old blog carries 100+ dead links. When did you last check yours?

Built the way a link checker should be

No cloud

Other checkers upload your URLs to their servers. LinkGuard runs entirely on yours. Private by architecture.

No credits

The ‘free’ alternatives cap you at 250 links a month. LinkGuard scans everything, free, forever.

No account

Install → scan → fix. Ninety seconds, zero signups.

From install to fixed in three steps

Install & scan

The first scan starts automatically on activation — nothing to configure.
