404 is a code name for a missing page or a webpage that no longer exists. Over the years, I am sure you have linked to tons of websites that are either dead in the water or have changed their website's URL structure. Broken Link Checker will try to go through all of your previous posts and find any links to websites that are no longer reachable. Along with the 404 Notify plugin mentioned earlier in this chapter, you will never have another missing page or link within your blog. Unlike 404 Notify, Broken Link Checker covers external websites as well as internal pages.
