Check Frequency
How often Brokenly scans your affiliate links and how to trigger manual scans.
Check frequency depends on your plan. Higher plans get more frequent checks, catching problems sooner.
Scan Intervals by Plan
| Plan | Check Interval |
|---|---|
| Starter | Once per day |
| Pro | Every 6 hours |
| Business | Every hour |
Manual Scans
You can trigger a scan at any time from your dashboard, regardless of when the last scheduled scan ran. This is useful after updating links on your site and wanting to immediately confirm they're working.
To run a manual scan:
- Go to your Dashboard
- Select the site you want to scan
- Click Run Scan Now
Manual scans count against the same scan limits as scheduled scans and run with the same priority.
Scan Scheduling Details
Scheduled scans run based on when you first added the site, not at a fixed clock time. If you added your site at 3:24 PM and you're on the Pro plan, your scans run around 3:24 AM, 9:24 AM, 3:24 PM, and 9:24 PM each day.
Viewing Scan History
The Scan History tab shows the start time, duration, and outcome of every scan. You can see how many links were checked and how many changed status in each run.
