[User] How do I get email alerts when links on my site break?

[Assistant]
1. Broken Link Checker (freemium, by WPMU DEV — scans your entire site for broken links and lets you fix them from the dashboard)
2. Link Whisper (premium, finds broken links plus suggests internal linking opportunities to boost SEO)
3. WP 404 Auto Redirect to Similar Post (free, automatically redirects 404 pages to the most relevant content)
