Appleseed - Broken Link Checker for Craft CMS 5
===============================================

[](#appleseed---broken-link-checker-for-craft-cms-5)

Appleseed proactively discovers and checks every link across your Craft CMS site, helping you find and fix broken links before your visitors do.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Hybrid link discovery** -- scans entry fields in the database *and* spiders rendered pages
- **Smart HTTP checking** -- HEAD-first with GET fallback, retries with exponential backoff, per-domain rate limiting
- **CP Dashboard** -- summary cards, filterable results table, detail views, ignore/rescan actions
- **Scheduled scans** -- daily, weekly, or monthly automatic scanning
- **Entry-save scanning** -- optionally check links whenever an entry is saved
- **Email notifications** -- get notified when broken links exceed your threshold
- **CSV export** -- download results for offline review
- **Ignore patterns** -- regex-based URL exclusion
- **Console commands** -- `craft appleseed/scan` for CLI/cron usage
- **Badge count** -- broken link count shown in the CP nav
