Markdown Broken Links Checker

Checks every hyperlink, image, autolink and reference link in the React repo's README and validates same-document anchors against the file's headings. Each link is reported as alive, dead or ignored with its HTTP status code, line number and link text, plus a pass/fail SUMMARY record in the key-value store. Replace the URL with your own raw Markdown file.
