FAQ

-
How does the plugin detect broken images?
-
It scans
<img>tags in post content and checks theirsrcURLs using HTTPHEADrequests. It also checks featured image URLs. -

No. All checks are performed locally using WordPress core HTTP functions.

Will it slow down my site?

The scan runs only when manually triggered from the admin dashboard and does not affect front-end visitors. On very large sites, the scan may take longer, but it runs in small batches to avoid timeouts.
