详情介绍:

Spot Check is an on-demand broken link checker. It checks the links on one post or page the moment you ask, and shows you the results right away. No crawling, no clutter, no false alarms. Why crawl a whole site to check links that never change? Here is something most people never think about: the internal links on your site barely change. Once a page links to your contact form, that link usually stays put for months. So why do most link checkers crawl your entire site, around the clock, to catch a handful of changes? Spot Check flips that idea. When you are working on a page, you check that page's links right then, on the content you are actually touching. The name says what it does. It is not meant to replace a full site-wide scanner. Tools like Broken Link Checker are great for catching external links that rot over time. But Spot Check handles the day-to-day "are the links on this page good?" question, so you can run those heavy scans far less often. That matters, because crawlers are hard on a server. Fetching every link on every page eats CPU and memory, which is why some hosts throttle or block them. Spot Check only works when you ask, on the single page in front of you. It never hammers your server in the background. Three steps. That's the whole tool.
  1. Open a post or page, or hover over it in your post list.
  2. Click "Check Links."
  3. Watch each link turn green, red, or yellow as it is checked.
Nothing runs until you click, and nothing is saved when you close it. What the colors mean Built to be trusted, not just busy What gets checked Spot Check reads the saved body of one post, which is the content you write in the editor. It does not check links in your header, footer, menu, sidebar, or widgets, because those live outside the post body. It also does not see links created on the fly by dynamic blocks, like a "latest posts" block. Page builders come down to where each one keeps its content. These store the page right in the post body, where Spot Check reads it well: These keep their layout in a separate place. How much Spot Check catches depends on the builder, sometimes most of the links and sometimes only a few. It flags these with a note in the results, so you know to double-check: How the checking works Links to your own site are checked right in your browser, which is fast and adds no load to your server. Links to other sites are checked by your server instead. This split is needed because of a browser security rule: browsers can't read responses from other websites, but servers can. Checks run a few at a time, and results appear as each one finishes. Settings Visit Settings -> Spot Check to adjust a few things:

安装:

  1. Install and activate the plugin.
  2. Open any post and click Check Links in the admin toolbar, or hover over a post on the Posts screen.
  3. If you like, visit Settings -> Spot Check to adjust post types, the timeout, or the User-Agent.

升级注意事项:

1.0.2 Adds a "Visit plugin site" link on the Plugins screen. No functional changes to link checking. 1.0.1 Adds an on-screen notice when a page uses a builder like Elementor, so you know some add-on links may render dynamically and fall outside the check. 1.0.0 First release.

常见问题:

A link shows yellow with "403 Forbidden" but it opens fine when I click it. Is it broken?

Probably not. Some sites block automated requests, and government and news sites do this a lot. They send "403 Forbidden" to robots but show the page to people just fine. Spot Check marks these yellow instead of red, which means "check this one yourself." The link stays in future checks, so if the page ever truly dies, it will show up red.

Why doesn't it check my header, footer, or menu links?

Spot Check reads the saved body of one post. Header, footer, menu, sidebar, and widget links live outside the post body, so they are not included. Links created by dynamic blocks, like a "latest posts" block, are not seen either. Most page builder content is covered, though. Divi, Kadence, and block themes store the page body where Spot Check can read it. A few builders add some links only at view time. See the next question for those.

A link is on my page, but Spot Check didn't list it. Why?

Most likely a page builder added that link as the page loads, not when you saved. Spot Check reads your saved page content, where most links live, so it finds those. But some builders, like Elementor, keep their layout in a separate place. They turn certain links into real HTML only when a visitor views the page. Those links are not in your saved content yet, so Spot Check can't see them. When it detects one of these builders, it shows a short note in the results so nothing feels hidden. To check every link on the live page, run a full-site scanner like Broken Link Checker alongside it.

A link shows an SSL error, but it loads fine in my browser. Why?

Your server checks security certificates more strictly than your browser does. Some sites have sloppy certificate setups that browsers quietly work around but servers refuse. When that happens, Spot Check tries once more with the certificate check turned off. It then reports the real page status, along with a note about the certificate problem.

Can it fix broken links for me?

Not yet, and that is a deliberate choice. Spot Check is a safe, read-only diagnostic. It tells you what is wrong and never touches your content, so it can't damage a page while trying to help. Editing links automatically is also harder than it looks. Builders like Divi and Elementor store content in their own shortcodes and data structures, not plain HTML. Changing a link safely in every builder, without breaking the layout, is a real problem to solve. A safe "fix this URL" feature is on the roadmap for when it can be done with full accuracy.

Does it slow down my site or store data?

No. Checks only run while the results panel is open, and the results are thrown away when you close it. The plugin stores one small settings row, which is deleted if you uninstall.

I just fixed a link, but the old one still shows up.

Spot Check reads the last saved version of the post. Save or update the post first, then run the check again.

Which post types does it work on?

All public post types, including custom ones. New post types are turned on automatically, and you can turn any type off under Settings -> Spot Check.
