Requirements #

  • Plan: Opti-Behavior Pro

Steps #

  1. Go to Opti-Behavior → Errors Tracking → Broken Links.
  2. Review the detected links returning 404 (not found) or 500 (server error).
  3. Note the page where the link was hit so you can locate and fix it.
Broken Links tab listing reported URLs with their HTTP 404 and 500 status codes, source page, occurrences, last detected time and status

How to fix #

  • 404: correct the URL, restore the page, or add a redirect.
  • 500: investigate the server error — often a plugin, theme, or PHP issue.

Expected result #

You can find and fix dead links before more visitors hit them.

FAQ #

Does this crawl my whole site? #

It reports error responses encountered during real visits, so it surfaces the links people actually reach.
