Image Integrity Scanner is a lightweight broken image checker for WordPress. Broken images damage user experience, slow content audits, and make your site look unfinished — and they are easy to miss because WordPress never alerts you when an <img> tag points to a dead URL. This plugin finds them for you, automatically.
With one click of the Scan Now button, the plugin crawls every published post and page, checks every image it finds — including images embedded in post content and featured images — and reports any image that returns a 404 error, another bad HTTP status, or fails to load. Results appear in a clean, paginated, sortable table directly inside your WordPress admin, and the full report can be exported as a CSV file for sharing with your team or client.
Whether you are auditing a site after a migration, cleaning up content from a CDN change, fixing a broken hotlink, or doing routine site maintenance, Image Integrity Scanner gives you a fast and accurate broken image report without needing a third-party SEO crawler or command-line tool.
Why scan for broken images?
- Broken images create a poor experience for visitors and make pages look unfinished.
- Search engines can penalize pages with broken media when assessing overall page quality and image search ranking.
- Migrating servers, hosts, themes, or CDNs is one of the most common causes of sudden broken image links.
- Linking to external images that get deleted, renamed, or moved on another site silently breaks your content over time.
- Manually clicking through every page to check every image does not scale once your site grows.
