Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does this plugin scan?
The plugin scans all posts, pages, and public custom post types for <img> tags and checks if the image URLs are reachable.
What happens if the scan is interrupted?
You can restart the scan at any time. The plugin works in batches, so it won’t overload your server.
How does the plugin check for broken images?
It sends a HEAD request to each image URL and checks the HTTP response. If the response is not 200 OK, the image is flagged as broken.

Yes, the table includes links to the WordPress editor for each affected post, making it easy to fix broken images.
