## Description

The DeadDelete Plugin for WordPress allows developers to make removing outdated 
content from their sites easy by allowing users to click a button that checks source
URLs for 404 or 301 status codes. If the source returns a 404 the post is trashed.
The same is true in cases of 301s if the final destination is known to be a destination
for missing content.

DeadDelete is designed primarily for aggregators that copy content from other websites
with source attribution links included. It is ideal for RSS based auto-blogs that
include a large amount of content from other sources. With DeadDelete a user can
click a button when they notice that an article is based on a source that no longer
exists and remove your copy so that you don’t have to.
