Useful Niche Plugin
I love these kind of micro plugins where they just do one specific thing and they do it perfectly. Great little plugin, works like a charm!

Great plugin
It works very well! I recommend it! It would be great if they added the ability to scan products for the store to the outgoing links!

A valuable helper
This actually works quite nicely!! first it scans and lists all external links on a website and in a 2nd step, it checks if they are broken. Usually that kind of function is integrated in more expensive SEO tools. Here it is for free, so I can't complain. Thanks! Maybe in future you guys could improve the UX a bit, intuitively managed to get it done. Maybe you can integrate a quick guide or pop up helper.
