How to Find Broken Video Embeds in WordPress
- Install the free Site Toolkit plugin and switch on Video Checker under Site Toolkit → Modules.
- Open Video Checker in the WordPress admin (under Site Toolkit when you use more than one checker) and run the check. It works in short steps, so it finishes on shared hosting and large sites too.
- Read the report. Nothing on the site changes until you tick an item and confirm.
