I noticed that the plugin is outputting unneccesary JS on the front end (this is only meant for logged in users):

../wp-content/plugins/broken-link-notifier/includes/js/results-front.js

Are you referring to the scan results? You can turn that off in Broken Link Notifier > Settings > Show Results in Dev Console. It’s only really useful during set up and troubleshooting. It helps you identify which links are being scanned and which ones are being flagged.

I got a notification from Semrush that there is (uncompressed) JS and CSS on the front end:

<script type=”df403666d3d0e01f1916660d-text/javascript” src=”domain.com/wp-content/plugins/broken-link-notifier/includes/js/results-front.js” id=”front_end_js-js”></script>

<link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’front_end_css-css’ href=’https://domain.com/wp-content/plugins/broken-link-notifier/includes/css/results-front.css’ type=’text/css’ media=’all’ />

Sorry, just saw that you responded. The scripts are not for logged-in users only. The results-front.js script is how the plugin scans the pages when a visitor visits a page, and for highlighting broken links from a query string (when you click to find a link). The results-front.css stylesheet is for styling the highlighted links. While highlighting broken links is usually only seen by admins when trying to find a broken link, the tool is there in case you’re working with a support ticket and want to highlight something to reference for them.

Semrush is referring to uncompressed (non-minified) versions of the scripts. I can use minified versions in a future update.
