MD Embed Checker is a powerful tool that helps you maintain the quality of your WordPress content by scanning all your published content (Posts, Pages, and Custom Post Types) for broken YouTube links. It uses robust background processing to handle large sites efficiently without timing out.
Key Features:
- Comprehensive Scanning: Scans all public posts, pages, and custom post types (Portfolios, WooCommerce Products, etc.) for YouTube links.
- Smart Detection: Supports YouTube links in iframes, shortcodes, and direct URLs.
- Robust Performance: Uses atomic batch processing to scan thousands of items without server timeouts.
- Real-time Progress: Monitor scan status live with detailed feedback.
- Secure & Compliant: Built strictly following WordPress Coding Standards and security best practices (fully prepared SQL, escaped output).
- Detailed Reports: View comprehensive reports of broken links with post details.
- Export Functionality: Export scan results as HTML reports for team workflows.
- Statistics Tracking: Track scan history and statistics over time.
Supported YouTube Link Formats:
* Standard YouTube URLs (youtube.com/watch?v=)
* Shortened URLs (youtu.be/)
* Embedded iframes
* Builder shortcodes
* Custom shortcodes (visual composer, elementor, etc.)
* Base64 encoded content
How It Works:
1. Navigate to Tools MD Embed Checker in your WordPress admin.
2. Click “Start Scan” to initiate the background process.
3. Monitor the real-time progress bar.
4. Once complete, view broken links in the “Reports” tab or export them.
Perfect For:
* Content managers who need to maintain link quality
* Blog owners with many YouTube embeds
* SEO-conscious website owners
* Large publishing sites requiring scalable maintenance tools

Cwestiynau Cyffredin
-
How often should I run scans?
-
We recommend running scans weekly or after publishing new content with YouTube links. The plugin tracks your scan history so you can monitor trends over time.
-
Does this affect my website’s performance?
-
No, the scanning process runs in background batches via AJAX. It is designed to be lightweight and pauses between batches to prevent server overload.
-
What happens if broken links are found?
-
The plugin generates a detailed report of all broken YouTube links. You can export this report to fix links manually.
-
Is this compatible with page builders?
-
Yes, MD Embed Checker scans raw post content, so it detects YouTube links regardless of the page builder (Elementor, Divi, Fusion Builder, etc.) as long as the content is stored in the standard post_content field.
