One dashboard, every issue, fixed in minutes.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udd17 Broken Link Detection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Scan every post and page for broken external links. SEOMedic checks the live HTTP status of each URL and flags anything returning an error.

SEOMedic earns a commission if you buy through either, at no extra cost to you:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>WordPress-optimized hosting<\/strong> \u2014 shown on the loading screen, and only when the dashboard is running slowly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ShortPixel image optimiser<\/strong> \u2014 shown in the Oversized images panel, next to the note explaining that SEOMedic deliberately does not compress or convert images itself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Both are marked <code>rel=\"nofollow sponsored\"<\/code> so search engines are told about the relationship too, not only you.<\/p>\n\n<p>Affiliate links never affect what the plugin reports. No audit result, score, or recommendation changes because of a commercial relationship, and no section exists in order to create one. Where the plugin recommends a category of tool it doesn't compete with \u2014 an image optimiser, for instance \u2014 it says so because that is the honest answer, whether or not the link earns anything.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<p>Only the three most recent releases are listed here. The full history ships\nwith the plugin in changelog.txt.<\/p>\n\n<h4>2.78<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Improved: the loading messages stay on screen almost twice as long, with a soft fade between them. They were cycling fast enough to read as flicker rather than progress.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>2.77<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>New: <strong>the editor's \"Link to a post\" picker now shows what each candidate is worth.<\/strong> Every result carries its Google impressions, whether Google has it indexed, and how many internal links already point at it \u2014 and the list is sorted busiest-first, so the strongest link target is at the top instead of buried. WordPress's own link search shows titles and nothing else, which means picking blind.<\/li>\n<li>A number is only shown when it is actually known. No Search Console connection means no impressions figure rather than a zero, and \"not checked with Google\" is shown as its own state rather than as \"not indexed\".<\/li>\n<li>Note on the link counts: they come from the last time you opened the SEOMedic dashboard, so a link added since then will not be reflected. Hovering the number tells you how old it is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>2.76<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: dismissing the \"you may redirect this trashed post\" notice now sticks. The \u2715 was WordPress's standard one, which only hides the notice on that page \u2014 so the same suggestion came back on every screen, with the only real dismiss hidden inside the \"Set redirect inline\" panel. Clicking \u2715 now stops it being suggested again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Audit broken links, fix missing meta descriptions, detect H1 issues, fix YouTube embeds, and clean up internal linking \u2014 all from one dashboard.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/de.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/299657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/de.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/de.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/de.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=299657"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/de.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/andrewmurray"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/de.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=299657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/de.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=299657"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/de.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=299657"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/de.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=299657"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/de.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=299657"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/de.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=299657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
