Questions and answers

Why not just use Oh Dear‘s dashboard?

As an Oh Dear customer you can be a member of many teams each with their own monitored websites. It is tailored to you as a developer. With Craft Oh Dear you‘ll bring all relevant features to your Craft editors. Empower them to find and fix broken links and mixed content, manage status page updates, check the certificate health and analyse uptime.

Does Craft Oh Dear detect 404s?

Oh Dear crawls your website to find broken links that refer to external or internal pages from the point of view of a user that is on your site. Thus it cannot detect 404 errors for users that arrive from outside to your website. For this purpose you may find several other Craft plugins or services.
