SleekView for Broken Link Checker Pro: link audit as tables
Broken Link Checker Pro logs every outgoing link and its HTTP status. SleekView reads the link table and renders broken links, redirects, and recent checks as one queryable grid so editors can fix at scale.

See every broken and redirected link across the site in one view
Broken Link Checker Pro stores every link it discovers in custom tables, typically named with the plugin's prefix (for example wp_blc_links for link rows and an instance table that ties each link to the post or comment containing it). Each row records the source URL, the target URL, the last HTTP status, the last check timestamp, and any redirect chain.
The default Broken Link Checker admin lists results page by page with a handful of preset filters. It is a useful triage screen, but auditing thousands of links across a site means clicking through page after page, with no way to save complex filters or scope the view to a single author's posts. SleekView reads the broken-link tables directly and surfaces every link as a row in a grid you can sort, filter, and edit inline.
Inline edits to the source content route through the standard WordPress post APIs so changes save back to wp_posts and the link checker re-validates the affected URLs on its next pass.

Comparison
Default Broken Link Checker admin vs SleekView
Default Broken Link Checker admin
- Results page surfaces a list with preset filters and basic sorting
- No saved views per editor or content team
- Cannot scope link audits by post author or content category easily
- Redirect chains and DNS errors share one status column with no detail
- Hard to filter by status code, source post type, and last-check timestamp together
SleekView
-
One grid for every row in
wp_blc_linksand its instances - Sort by status, last checked, or source post type to triage what matters
- Filter for 404s on published pages, redirect chains, or stale checks
- Inline replace target URLs in linked posts straight from the grid
- Save views per editor so each writer fixes only their own broken links
Features
What SleekView gives you for Broken Link Checker Pro
Every link in one row
Target URL, status, anchor text, source post, and last check timestamp surface as columns. The default results page stops being the only way to audit link health.
Triage by status and source
Filter for 404s on published pages, DNS errors on cornerstone content, or redirect chains over three hops. Saved views replace ad-hoc filter clicks across multiple sessions.
Inline fix linked posts
Replace a target URL in every post that uses it, or open the source post directly from the grid. Edits route through standard post APIs so the link checker re-validates on the next pass.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for Broken Link Checker Pro
Content editors
Triage broken links in their own posts only. Build a writer-scoped view of 404s with the source posts highlighted and replace target URLs without leaving the grid.
SEO leads
Audit broken outbound links on cornerstone content. Sort by last checked and filter for repeated 404s on high-traffic posts to triage before the next crawl.
Agency leads
Hand clients a clean link-health report. Export filtered audits to CSV for monthly retainer summaries and document which broken links were fixed since last month.
The bigger picture
Why link audits get stuck on the default results page
Broken Link Checker Pro does the hardest part of the job: it discovers every link on the site, checks it, follows redirects, and records the results. The problem is the audit surface. The default results page is a single list with preset filters.
To triage link health across a thousand posts spread over a dozen authors, an editor has to click through pages, manually filter by status, and remember which posts they already touched. There is no saved view per editor, no easy scope by post author or category, no inline replace across multiple posts at once. SleekView turns the link tables into a real grid.
Target URL, status code, source post, anchor text, last check, and redirect hop count become sortable columns and saveable filters. Each editor opens a writer-scoped queue showing only their own broken links. SEO leads run a global audit of 404s on cornerstone content.
Agency leads export the queue for monthly retainer reports. The data already exists in Broken Link Checker's tables. SleekView just makes link audits run at the pace large content teams actually need.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for Broken Link Checker Pro
No. Broken Link Checker Pro still owns link discovery, the HTTP checks, and the scheduled re-validation passes. SleekView reads the link tables so editors and SEO leads can audit and fix at scale in a real grid instead of paging through the default results screen.
 
Yes. SleekView updates the source post content through standard WordPress post APIs. The replaced URL saves back to wp_posts and the link checker re-validates the affected link on its next scheduled pass.
Yes. Where Broken Link Checker Pro records redirect chain data, SleekView surfaces hop count and final destination as separate columns. Editors can filter for chains over three hops and flatten them by replacing the source URL inline.
 Yes. Broken Link Checker Pro can scan comments and ACF custom fields. SleekView reads the same link instance table, so links in comments and meta surface alongside links in post content with the source object identified.
 No. SleekView paginates against the link and instance tables using the indexes Broken Link Checker Pro already maintains. Even sites with several hundred thousand discovered links stay responsive because the grid loads only the visible columns and current page.
 
Yes. Views can be scoped by post_author, taxonomy term, or post type. Useful for editor-owned cleanup queues where each writer sees only the broken links inside their own published content.
Yes. Any view exports to CSV with the columns and rows currently on screen. Useful for sharing fix queues with editors, attaching a link-health snapshot to a monthly retainer email, or feeding into a spreadsheet.
 No. SleekView is a separate menu in WP Admin and reads the same tables Broken Link Checker writes to. Both views stay in sync because they share storage. Edits made through either path show up immediately in the other.
