MegaLinks

MegaLinks — Broken Link Checker & Redirect Manager, Free Core, Optional Pro

Detection, manual redirects, bulk actions, the weekly digest, and WP-CLI are free, permanently. Pro adds smart suggestions, one-click chain fixing, and a full SEO audit — one-time, no annual renewal.

Link Whisper charges $77–$497 every year for smart link suggestions. MegaLinks' free tier already finds and lets you fix every broken link and image on your site — Pro is a one-time upgrade for the parts that save the most manual work: auto-matched redirect destinations and one-click chain flattening.

What the Smart-Suggestion Layer Actually Costs Elsewhere

🆓 What's Free, No Catch

• Full broken link and broken image scanning, running entirely via WP-Cron — never during a visitor's page load
• Manual redirect creation with hit counters, bulk ignore/recheck, and a link history log that records each link's real before/after status
• A weekly email digest and full WP-CLI support for scripted, multi-site workflows
• Broken-links CSV export for client reporting or offline analysis

⭐ What Pro Adds

• Smart redirect suggestions — when you click to fix a broken link, MegaLinks searches your own content for exact slug matches, similar slugs, and title keyword matches, ranked so you can accept the best one in one click instead of hunting manually
• One-click chain flattening — flatten a single chain or every detected chain on the site at once
• The full SEO Anchor Text Audit — every weak-anchor link ("click here", "read more", and more) with a site-wide score and a direct edit link to the source post
• Unrestricted CSV export (all links, not just broken ones)

⚡ Built for Shared Hosting

• URL deduplication — the same external URL appearing in 50 posts is checked once, not 50 times, cutting outbound requests by 90%+ on large sites
• Cron locking prevents overlapping background runs; a memory guard halts a batch early if available RAM drops below a safe threshold
• Configurable batch size down to 1 post per run for the most restricted hosting plans

Included in This Package

• megalinks.zip — full plugin, free tier included with no licence needed (Plugins → Add New → Upload)
• A licence key (Single/Extended/Agency) unlocks Pro features under MegaLinks → Licence
• Free updates while your support period is active

Who Is This For?

• Any site wanting real broken-link detection without a recurring subscription — the free tier alone replaces most of what paid competitors charge for
• Sites that migrate content often and accumulate redirect chains, where one-click flattening pays for the Pro licence in the first cleanup pass
• Agencies wanting WP-CLI-scriptable link auditing across many client sites
