Broken Image Checker — find 404 images on any page

Scan a page for broken images: every <img> src and srcset candidate is HEAD-checked and flagged if it 404s, errors, or returns a non-image content-type. Also counts missing alt attributes. Single URL or bulk. $0.002 per page. Failed page fetches are recorded free.

What you get

• broken — each broken image with its src, HTTP status, content-type, and the reason.
• imageCount checked and brokenCount.
• missingAltCount — accessibility signal.
• Follows srcset candidates, not just src.
• Fail-soft: an unreachable page returns {ok:false, error}, uncharged; a page that loads but has broken images is a normal (charged) result.

Limits (honest ones)

• Checks images declared in the served HTML; images injected by JavaScript are not seen.
• A "broken" verdict includes 4xx/5xx, connection errors, and 2xx responses with a non-image content-type.
• Capped images-per-page and maxUrls per run keep runs finite.

FAQ

• Does it check srcset? Yes — every src and srcset candidate is HEAD-checked.
• What counts as broken? A 4xx/5xx, a network error, or a 2xx that isn't actually an image.
• Does it flag accessibility? It counts images missing an alt attribute.
• What about a dead page? You get an {ok:false, error} record, uncharged.
