Does this plugin slow down my site?

No. Unlike other broken link tools, this plugin does not crawl your site. It only loads a tiny script and a button, making it one of the most lightweight maintenance tools available.

Can I customize the button style?

Yes! The button uses the ‘.krbl-report-btn’ class. You can easily override the colors and fonts in your theme’s CSS or the Customizer.

Where are the reports saved?

Reports are saved in a custom table in your WordPress database and are accessible via the “Kreativ Broken Links” menu in your admin dashboard.

Does this plugin use a shortcode?

No. The “Report Broken Link” button is automatically added to supported post types, so no shortcode or manual placement is required.

Can I choose where the button appears?

The button is automatically displayed on enabled post types. Additional placement options may be considered in future versions.

Which post types are supported?

Posts and pages are supported. You can enable or disable them from the plugin settings.

Does this plugin automatically scan for broken links?

No. This plugin allows visitors to report broken links they encounter. It does not perform automatic site-wide link scanning.

Will visitors see admin-only data?

No. Visitors can only submit reports. All management actions are available only in the WordPress admin dashboard.

Is the plugin open source?

Yes. The plugin is open source and maintained on GitHub:
