## Description

Link Status Scanner by Beplus scans all your published posts and pages for broken
links, redirects, and unreachable URLs. It runs in the background using WordPress
Cron so your site performance is never impacted.

#### Key Features

 * Automatic background scanning — Uses WP-Cron to scan posts and check links on
   a schedule you control.
 * Broken link report — A clean admin table listing every broken link: URL, HTTP
   status code, the post it was found in, and when it was last checked.
 * Status filters — Quickly filter links by All, Broken, Redirect, OK, Unchecked,
   or Ignored.
 * Bulk actions — Re-check, ignore, or delete multiple links at once.
 * Email notifications — Get a digest email listing new broken links after each 
   cron check run.
 * Configurable settings — Set check frequency (daily/weekly/monthly), request timeout,
   links per cron run, and excluded URL patterns.
 * Dashboard widget — A quick summary of total, broken, redirect, and OK links on
   your WordPress dashboard.
 * Instant re-check — Re-check any single link immediately from the admin table.
 * Scan on save — Newly published or updated posts are scanned immediately when 
   saved.

#### How It Works

 1. When a post is published or updated, Link Status Scanner by Beplus extracts all`
    <a href>` links from the content and stores them in the database.
 2. A scheduled cron job checks each stored link by making an HTTP HEAD request and
    recording the response code.
 3. Broken links (404, 410, connection errors) are flagged in the admin report.
 4. If email notifications are enabled, you receive a digest email listing newly broken
    links after each scan.

#### Privacy

Link Status Scanner by Beplus sends HTTP requests to external URLs in order to check
their status. No personal data is collected or shared.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `beplus-link-status-scanner` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Settings > Link Status Scanner** to view the broken links report.
 4. Click **Scan Posts Now** to run an immediate scan, then **Check Links Now** to 
    check their HTTP status.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin slow down my site?

No. All scanning and HTTP checking happens through WP-Cron, which runs in the background.
The only admin-side actions are when you manually trigger a scan or re-check.

### What types of links are checked?

Only `<a href>` links in post content are checked. `mailto:`, `tel:`, `javascript:`,
and anchor-only `#` links are automatically skipped.

### Can I exclude certain domains or URLs?

Yes. Go to the Settings tab and add URL patterns (one per line) to the Excluded 
URL Patterns field. Any link containing that pattern will be skipped.

### Why does WP-Cron not run on schedule?

WP-Cron triggers on page loads. On low-traffic sites it may not run on time. For
reliable scheduling, disable WP-Cron and add a real system cron job:
 */5 * * * *
curl -s https://yoursite.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron > /dev/null 2>&1

### What does “Redirect” status mean?

A redirect (301, 302, 307, 308) means the URL has moved. The link still works but
you may want to update it to the final destination for SEO.

### Can I check links in custom fields or other content areas?

Version 1.0 checks post content only. Support for custom fields and widget areas
is planned for a future release.
