Show HN: I created a simple and fast Broken Link Checker for WordPress

There aren't any reliable free broken link checkers out there, so I decided to create one. Right now, it is a Python script that can be run on any platform. It is multi-threaded and has a lot of room for improvement.

Feel free to check out the code and point out the mistakes or leave suggestions. I am newbie programmer :)

Looks interesting. Needs to format code a bit and choose descriptive variable names.

I usually use Screaming Frog SEO Spider to find the broken links. Works very well!

That ain't really free plus takes longer time. I have a blog that has over 25000 posts. That's why I wrote my own. Felt like share with others.. :)
