Overview

Checks links on the active page and records details about the ones returning 404, 410, or 5xx status codes.

Find broken links while browsing your, your client's, or your mistress's website! With its simple yet effective interface, the Broken Link Scanner works wonders in tandem with your other in-browser SEO / web dev tools. Features include: * Passively scans the webpage in the active tab of your browser as it loads * Optionally highlights broken links on screen conspicuously * Records each broken target URL, the link's anchor text, the target's status code, and the number of scanned pages found containing the exact link * Recommends a replacement target URL or replacement anchor text candidates with a click button * Offers convenient data export options * Comes with an Import URLs option for checking a fresh list of URLs on the fly * Notes the user-agent setting for each link scan - great for diagnosing device disparity issues * Print all scanned URLs and their status code if you're a nerd. Turn on Diagnostics, set the DevTools Console to Verbose, and see all kinds of data pour in that no one else cares about * Enter Slowmo Mode for especially recalcitrant sites that rely on rate limit blocking, throttling, or some ungodly hybrid thereof. Be warned, however: It's reaaaaaaaaal slow NOTE: Many "triple AAA"/"unicorn"/"ultra-enterprise" sites are auto-excluded, such as paypal.com and google.com.
