โ FAQ
๐ How does it work? The actor sends requests to each URL you provide, captures the status code, response time, and any redirects, then reports broken links, slow pages, and errors in a detailed results table.
๐ How accurate is the link status? Status codes are pulled directly from response headers, so accuracy is 100% for network reachability. Protected sites may report false positives if they block automated checks.
๐ Can I schedule recurring checks? Yes. Use Apify's scheduling features or integrate with Zapier, Make, or other workflow tools to run checks daily, weekly, or on-demand.
โ๏ธ Is it legal to check links on websites I don't own? The actor checks public URLs and collects publicly available status information. You're responsible for ensuring your usage complies with local laws and the website's terms of service.
๐ก๏ธ Will websites block me? Most public websites allow status checks. If a site blocks you, the actor will return a timeout or error. We recommend enabling a residential proxy for sensitive sites, though most checks work without one.
โก How long does a check take? A typical check takes 1-5 seconds per URL depending on response time and timeout settings. 100 URLs usually complete in 2-10 minutes, depending on site speed.
โ ๏ธ Are there any limits? Free users can collect up to 100 results per run. Paid users can collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.
