Bulk URL Status & Broken Link Checker — Redirects, SSL

Check thousands of URLs in one run and find broken links, redirect chains, slow pages and expiring SSL certificates. $0.50 per 1,000 URLs.

• HTTP status with a simple result category: ok, redirect, client_error (404...), server_error (5xx), ssl_error, unreachable
• Full redirect chain (every hop with its status code) and the final URL
• Response time
• SSL certificate: valid or not, issuer, expiry date and days until expiry
• Optional title, canonical URL and meta robots (for SEO audits)
• Lightweight HEAD requests where possible, polite delays per site

What can it be used for?

• Broken link checks for sitemaps, exports, link lists or backlinks
• Redirect audits after a site migration (http→https, old→new URLs)
• SSL expiry monitoring for all your domains (run it on a schedule)
• Uptime spot checks and response-time comparison
• SEO checks: canonical, meta robots and X-Robots-Tag for a list of URLs

Pricing

Event	Price
URL checked	$0.0005 ($0.50 per 1,000)

Every checked URL is charged, including unreachable ones (that is the result of the check). Platform usage is included.

Notes

• Only the URLs you provide are requested — the Actor does not crawl pages to find links.
• Some sites block automated requests or answer HEAD differently; the Actor falls back to GET when HEAD is not supported.
