Broken Link Checker - Dead Links, 404 Checker, Bulk URL Status

Every link on the page is followed and reported with its status code, the redirect chain and the page it was found on. A host that answers 403 to robots is reported as blocked, not as broken, which is the difference between a real problem and a false alarm.
