Broken Link Checker

Did you know that Google doesn’t like websites that redirect it to error pages? That’s right after Google Penguin was born, this giant search engine has started reducing many existent post positions due to broken links. So, Broken Link Checker is the one and the only solution for your WordPress and one of the best free SEO plugin for WordPress.

It could take a while to manually check through a bunch of posts and I’m sure it’s will be a nightmare for those that have over 100 articles published. But with this plugin, saves a lot of time by mindlessly detects broken links on your blog and comments, then give out notifications. You either can fix the problem or click on the “Unlink” button.

Keep in mind that “Broken Link Checker” could slow down your site because it often sent a lot of data to the server and increase CPU.

Google XML Sitemap

Do you want your content to be index faster by Google? If so, submitting an XML sitemap in Google Webmaster Tools is one of the many things you can do. Even though I already mentioned that you can generate a sitemap in Yoast SEO without installing an extra plugin but I have extra love for Google XML Sitemap because it has been out for a long time now and has been updated regularly.

Totally no complaints about this plugin, it contains many wonderful features and do the job perfectly.
