Techxabyte Link Health & Redirect Manager

Techxabyte Link Health & Redirect Manager is an all-in-one WordPress broken link finder, link scanner, redirect manager, and 404 monitor. It checks internal and external URLs, follows redirect chains, audits page SEO signals, repairs links in native content, and creates server-side redirect rules. Everything runs locally on your WordPress site using WordPress APIs for HTTP requests, scheduled jobs, permissions, data storage, revisions, and redirects. There is no required cloud account and no third-party link database. Website link health automation
