My Site Hand – Broken Link Checker, Alt Text & Site Health Audit

बिबरन

Scan your WordPress site for broken links, missing image alt text, missing SEO meta descriptions and accessibility problems — and fix them without leaving the report.

Activate the plugin and it starts scanning straight away. No token, no API key, no Node.js, no terminal. About thirty seconds later you get a health score out of 100 and a list of real problems on your own site.

What it finds

Twelve checks, run one at a time so nothing times out.

Broken link checker — checks the links in your recent posts and pages and reports only the ones that are genuinely gone. Only a 404 or 410 counts. Anything ambiguous is retried a different way and left alone rather than reported as a false alarm.

Missing alt text — images your visitors using screen readers cannot see, and search engines cannot read.

Missing meta descriptions — published posts and pages with no SEO description, for Yoast SEO and RankMath.

Accessibility basics — links that announce nothing to a screen reader, “click here” links, more than one main heading, and headings that skip a level. Structural checks only; it does not claim to be a full WCAG audit.

Images missing dimensions — the cause of pages that jump around while they load, which Google measures as a Core Web Vital.

Images missing lazy loading — pictures further down a post that something has opted out, so visitors download them before they are ever seen.

Oversized media — files big enough to slow your pages down, with the space you would get back.

Orphaned files — uploads that nothing on your site appears to use.

Thin content — published pages with very few words. Read with judgement: a contact page is supposed to be short, and pages built from a shortcode, gallery or embed are left out.

Plugin and core health — pending updates, an unsupported PHP version, missing HTTPS, errors visible to visitors, a stalled cron.

Exposed WordPress files — readme.html, license.txt and a debug log left publicly readable. The first hands an attacker your exact version; the last can contain server paths and credentials.

XML-RPC — reported as a notice, with the tradeoff stated plainly. It is a brute-force vector, but the WordPress mobile app and Jetpack need it, so this is only worth turning off if you use neither. Sites running Jetpack are skipped entirely.

Fix it from the report

A list of complaints is not much use on its own. Write alt text straight into the report, replace a dead link, or trash a file you no longer need — one row at a time, with the score climbing as you go.

No AI and no API key required for any of it.

Your score is kept over time, so you can watch the site improve, and you can have a short report emailed to you when something changes.

Send the report to a client

A report is more useful when the person who needs to act on it can read it.

• PDF — opens a clean, printable page and your browser’s own print dialog. Choose “Save as PDF”. No bloated PDF library bundled into the plugin to do a job your browser already does well.
• CSV — every issue as a row: check, severity, issue, context, link and object ID. Opens correctly in Excel and Google Sheets, in any language.
• A shareable link — a public web page your client can open without a login, with an expiry you choose: 7, 30 or 90 days. There is no never-expires option.

Shared reports are redacted on purpose. They show the score, each check by name, and how many issues it found. They never show file names, page addresses, server paths, post or media IDs, edit links, or your plugin, theme, PHP and WordPress versions — and the two security checks are left out entirely, because publishing those would be publishing a vulnerability report about your own server. The page tells you exactly what a recipient will and will not see before you create the link, every link can be revoked instantly, and the report is a snapshot: re-scanning your site never changes what you already sent.

Optional: let an AI assistant do the work

Everything above works on its own. Connecting an AI assistant is an upgrade, not a requirement.

Built on the open standard Model Context Protocol (MCP) developed by Anthropic, this plugin exposes safely-gated capabilities to clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code and Windsurf, so they can work on your site in plain language.

• Write and edit content — draft, edit, format or publish posts and pages.
• SEO audits — scan Yoast or RankMath metadata, optimise it for a keyword, update titles and descriptions.
• WooCommerce — list low-stock items, draft products, check recent orders, summarise sales.
• Diagnostics — inspect PHP error logs, check loopback status, look up site details.
• Zero-config setup — no hand-editing hidden JSON files. Copy one command from your dashboard, paste it into your terminal, and it connects.

Included modules: Content (9 abilities), SEO (6), Diagnostics (7), Media (6), Users (5), WooCommerce (12, registers only when WooCommerce is active). That is 33 abilities on a standard install, or 45 with WooCommerce. Every one is an individual switch, and a token can only call what you allow.

Security

• API tokens are SHA-256 hashed — the raw token is shown once and never stored.
• Every token is scoped to specific abilities. A token can only do what you explicitly allow.
• Optional IP allowlist restricts a token to specific addresses or CIDR ranges.
• Tokens are sent via the Authorization header, never in the URL.
• Every action is written to a searchable audit log with configurable retention.

What you need

The site scan and inline fixing need none of the following. These apply only if you choose to connect an AI assistant:

• Node.js — the desktop bridge (mcp-remote) runs on your own computer.
• HTTPS — so your API tokens stay encrypted in transit.
• Administrator access — to generate tokens and toggle module permissions.

External Services

Link Checker (SEO Module)

When the check-broken-links ability is called via the MCP API, this plugin sends HTTP HEAD requests to URLs found in your post content to verify they are reachable. No personal user data is transmitted — only a standard HTTP request is made to each URL being checked. This is triggered only when explicitly called by an authorized API token holder.

Link Checker (Site Health scan)

The Broken Links check in the Site Health scan sends HTTP HEAD requests (and, where a server refuses HEAD, a single ranged GET) to the links found in your 50 most recent published posts and pages, to see whether they still resolve. The request identifies this plugin and your site URL in its user agent. No personal user data is transmitted. Results are cached for 12 hours. This runs when you start a scan from the admin, and during the scheduled scan if you leave that enabled — on sites with more than 500 published posts the link check is skipped on the schedule. Turning scheduled reports off in My Site Hand → Settings stops the scheduled scan entirely.

Requests this plugin makes to your own site

The Exposed WordPress Files and XML-RPC checks ask your own site, over HTTP, whether /readme.html, /license.txt, /wp-config-sample.php, /wp-content/debug.log and /xmlrpc.php answer to an anonymous visitor. These are loopback requests to your own domain, not to any third party, and no data is sent in them. Results are cached for 12 hours. If your host blocks loopback requests, both checks report that they could not run rather than reporting your files as safe.

Shared report links

Creating a share link stores a redacted snapshot of your scan in your own database and serves it from your own site at a tokenized URL. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. The page is sent with X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow, every link expires, and you can revoke one at any time.

No data is sent to any third-party analytics or tracking service by this plugin.
