Add plugin for broken link checking #298

Closed weevie833 closed 4 years ago

weevie833 commented 4 years ago

Feature Description

A dashboard element would show admins a running list of broken links as they are discovered.

Feature Use Case

Faculty are currently tasked with manually checking all of the external links in their e-book prior to each term (and even during). Having a plugin aggregate potential dead links in one location would streamline this process.

Other Notes

The current WP plugin for this task [ https://wordpress.org/plugins/broken-link-checker/ ] has mixed reviews - some indicating curiously increased server CPU load. Not sure if these issues are related to this plugin, but worth testing if this feature request is enabled.

I like to use as plugins applications with hight CPU use, so I could activate and deactivate just when they are required.

Hi all, see https://github.com/pressbooks/ideas/issues/298 for previous issue on this topic. I'm going to close this issue as a duplicate of that previous ticket and move conversation there.
