Discovering Broken Links
Once Plug in SEO has been fully installed in your theme the app will continually be monitoring for broken links.
If a broken link is visited by a potential customer it will be shown in the app on the Broken Links tab.

Fixing Broken Links
You can fix a broken link by creating a redirect to an existing page on your shop.
Once a broken link has gotten at least 3 ‘hits’ we recommend that you create a redirect.
To fix a broken link:
Open up the app
View the ‘Broken Links’ check
Locate the link that you want to fix
Click the fix icon next to the URL
Enter the URL that you would like to redirect to

Ignoring Broken Links
Sometimes there may not be any value in redirecting a broken link. For example, maybe one customer just accidentally typed in a URL incorrectly.
In this case, this ‘broken link’ is unlikely to be landed on again in the future. If this is the case you can just press the ‘ignore’ icon next to the link and that URL will be removed from your ‘Broken Links’ list.
