Story summary
- The Internet Archive, the nonprofit behind the Wayback Machine, and Automattic launched the Link Fixer WordPress plug-in to curb link rot.
- The plug-in scans WordPress posts for outbound links and checks them against the Wayback Machine's archived versions.
- If no archived version exists, the plug-in captures snapshots and redirects offline links to the archive.
- It also archives the user's posts for long-term preservation and offers adjustable scans.
