I would upload this 31 times if I could, once for each of the websites I check manually every week

It is a really useful extension and really valuable for my client reports too.
Please bring this back! I am currently using the unsupported version from Denny, thanks!

Bring back the Broken Link Checker Extension that was supported in Main WP until 2020. This is a key feature to centralize link checking for Word Press sites and all major competitors have this feature built in. There have been a few discussions about this in the Support Forums for Main WP and they are here:
https://meta.mainwp.com/t/bring-back-broken-link-checker/2036
https://meta.mainwp.com/t/broken-links-checker/2093
https://meta.mainwp.com/t/broken-links-extension/439
There is a non-supported version on GitHub based on the 2020 code base (https://github.com/7thcirclegit/mainwp-broken-links-checker-extension) but it has a major issue where a list of URLs is not properly returned. I am currently having a PHP Developer look at fixing this so it might be super easy to include this in the code code base.
Here is what the 2020 version looks like within MainWP currently (keeping in mind that a list of URLs is NOT returned).
Main Overview Screen: https://share.getcloudapp.com/NQuxyv9G
Extension Overview Dash Screen: https://share.getcloudapp.com/llu6P4ek
Site Overview Screen: https://share.getcloudapp.com/WnuqQEnE
URLs Screen (not populated b/c data missing): https://share.getcloudapp.com/kpu4XmqP
So, in short - this is KEY functionality that any Web dashboard should have. I want it badly enough that I am paying a Dev to see if we can get the 2020 version fully functional but ideally this should be included in the main paid code base (Pro) and maybe even part of the free version that is supported long-term. If the Dev I am paying gets this working again I will provide the fixed version to the community so we really just need someone to take over/work with this on a more permanent basis. FYI - on the child site side it relies on the very popular broken link checker plugin from WPMUDEV (700K+ active installs) that is well supported here - https://wordpress.org/plugins/broken-link-checker/.
Please up-vote this request and let's get a great/enhanced broken link checker extension back on the Main WP dashboard.
