🎯 What it does

Crawls internal pages (same hostname) up to your page limit
Checks every link on each page — internal and external
Reports broken links (4xx / 5xx / connection failures) with:
- The broken URL
- HTTP status code (or error message)
- The source page where the link was found
- Whether it's internal or external
Smart HEAD → GET fallback for servers that reject HEAD requests

💡 Use cases

SEO audits — broken links hurt rankings and crawl budget
QA / pre-launch checks — catch dead links before users do
Content maintenance — find outbound links that have rotted
Migration validation — verify no links broke after a site move

📥 Input

Field	Type	Description
`startUrls`	array	Pages to start crawling from
`maxPages`	integer	Max internal pages to crawl (default 200)
`checkExternal`	boolean	Also check links to other domains (default true)
`maxConcurrency`	integer	Parallel page crawls (default 20)
`useProxy`	boolean	Route via Apify Proxy (default true)

Example input

{
  "startUrls": ["https://example.com"],
  "maxPages": 500,
  "checkExternal": true
}

📤 Output

{
  "brokenUrl": "https://example.com/old-page",
  "statusCode": 404,
  "foundOnPage": "https://example.com/blog",
  "isExternal": false,
  "checkedAt": "2026-07-04T21:00:00.000Z"
}

A run summary (total broken links + total links checked) is stored in the key-value store under SUMMARY.

⚡ Performance

HTTP-based — no browser overhead. Deduplicates links globally so each URL is only checked once, even across thousands of pages.
