Irish Guy – WordPress Plug-in Recommendation

Irish Guy Asheville Website Design WordPress Plug-in Recommendation to stop broken website links Managing links used to be a daunting if not impossible task - with WordPress no sweat – use the Broken Link Checker plug-in tracks all of your website links and improve your SEO ranking by maintaining a user friendly WordPress website.

Two Types of Broken Links

WordPress Web sites have two common types of broken links

  1. Internal Broken Links
  2. External Broken Links

Internal Broken Links

Internal Broken Links are non-working links to pages or post  within your WordPress website. Internal links are broken when pages are moved or deleted. When working with WordPress I sometimes need to unpublish a page or post, which will create broken links.

External Broken Links

External Broken Links are much more difficult to keep track off – in the past, people periodically tested their website by manual checking hyper links. Thankfully, with Broken Links WordPress Plug-in you will no longer have to manually check links on your WordPress website.

Broken Links Plug-in will scan your WordPress website for links that are not active. Broken Links Plug-In compiles a list of the problem links. A great time saver to discover, edit or delete broken links without having to open the page or post where the link resides.

Broken Link Plug-in can also email you when broken links are discovered. As a web designer / developer for a number of small WordPress websites  in Asheville NC, I especially like the email notification for websites that I infrequency access – the email gives me a heads up that there is a problem, that I wouldn’t have known about without  logging to the dashboard of the WordPress website.

Improved SEO results

The backbone to effective Search Engine Optimization is to create user friendly links to supporting content. Search Engines place a large value on your ability to create a  hyperlinked community – Search Engines use links from and to your website as a why of validating your website content.

The value of Reputable Links

Your website may have brilliant information for the taking, but will go unnoticed if your website  is without  established and reputable URL linking to your website content. If ranking high on the search engines is an important element to the success of your website, it would be beneficial to establish online partners that you can exchange resources by linking to each other content.

The damage of a Broken Link

Search Engines are relentless on Broken Links – not only is the broken link recorded, but the page that the broken link originates from is also removed from the Search Engine index. Pages not included on the Search Engine index do not rank.

Irish Guy Productions have spent the past year reviewing and working with a variety of different Content Management System (CMS) – many of you have seen the active results right here on our website – with quite a mixture of good and bad results.

We have finally rested upon WordPress as our web tool. Compared to other similar online applications WordPress has an array of plug-ins, themes and customization capabilities that makes working with WordPress effective… but certainly not without its own challenges and innate problems.
