Deactivate it after using it, no need to use it always. If you want to check broken links again then activate it again.

Himanshu, I never knew about this plugin. It really is an awesome plugin. Didn’t know my blog had so many broken links… I don’t think it really matters any more tho as many of the links are from over a year ago, but this plugin is still very useful.

Now, only if I could get this plugin to work with Viper’s video plugin to detect broken videos.
