All Features
Everything you need to find, track, and fix broken links on your website.
Never miss a broken link
We crawl every page on your site — content, menus, footers, sidebars — following every link just like Google does. Nothing slips through.
Know when your SSL expires
We check your certificate validity and warn you before it expires, so your visitors never see a security warning.
Automatic sitemap detection
We find and parse your sitemap.xml to ensure every important page gets checked, even if it's not linked from your navigation.
Find every missing image
Broken images hurt your credibility. We scan every <img> tag and report images that return errors or don't load.
Catch broken #anchor links
Links to page sections (#contact, #pricing) that don't exist frustrate users. We validate every fragment reference.
See what changed between scans
Compare two scans side-by-side to see which links broke since your last check — perfect after deploys or updates.
See newly broken links at a glance
Each rescan flags links that just broke (or just got fixed) with a badge — so you can prioritize regressions instead of digging through the full report.
Top broken pages & domains
Your dashboard surfaces the pages with the most broken links and the external domains causing the most issues, so you fix the highest-impact problems first.
Pause & resume scheduled scans
Going on vacation, freezing a release, or migrating? Pause a site's automated scans in one click and resume when you're ready.
Ignore false positives
Mark known-good third-party links as ignored — they stop polluting your reports without losing the rest of the scan data.
On-page SEO audit
Beyond broken links, every scan now flags missing or problematic titles, descriptions, canonical tags, hreflang return tags, Open Graph metadata and lists every schema.org type found on your pages.
Check hundreds of URLs at once
Paste a list of URLs and check them all in one go — up to 100 on the free plan, 1,000 on Pro and 5,000 on Agency. Great for validating a migration or an exported link list.
Get notified instantly
Receive alerts via email, Slack/Discord, or custom webhooks the moment new broken links appear on your site.
Scan only what matters
Include or exclude URL patterns to focus your scan. Skip admin areas, filter by section, or target specific paths.
Export and share results
Download your report as CSV or JSON, share it with your team, or pipe it into your own tools via the API.
WordPress integration
Using WordPress? Combine our cloud scanner with the Broken Link Checker plugin by TidyPlugins for complete coverage — real-time monitoring inside your CMS plus comprehensive external scans.
