I am after a way to audit a wordpress site.

Good morning, i am after a way to audit a wordpress site to find out how many outbound links are coming out of the site via tool or plugin. It is quite large and going through page by page is too time consuming but i have a suspicion that the site was compromised a while ago and outbound links were littered in the site. Ok all yours...?

  • Dave Elliott: if your site under 500 pages than the free version of screaming frog will give you this information.
  • Mike Cooke: ah never thought of that. great idea
  • Tony McCreath: If it's a hack then what you're looking for may be cloaked and hard to find with a crawler.

    Also check analytics, gwt, logs and backlinks for any suspiciously acting URLs.
  • Mike Cooke: Ah beat me to it. It was a hack and I will be posting details about it soon.
  • Mike Cooke: the hack was this, we are investigating how it was introduced into the site. Not dodgy plugins were used as in the post... Really confused and a total pain to get rid off...http://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-hacked-by-meta-refresh
