๐Ÿ”— Multi-Link Broken Link Checker

Check hundreds of URLs instantly to find broken links, redirects, timeouts, and slow pages. Perfect for SEO audits, monitoring website health, validating link integrity before launch, or detecting dead links across your content. No coding required - just paste your URLs and get comprehensive link health reports in seconds.

The Multi-Link Broken Link Checker validates thousands of URLs to identify broken links, redirects, 404s, and slow pages - with detailed status codes and response times for each link.

โœจ What Does It Do

  • ๐Ÿ“ URL Status - Check status codes for each link to quickly identify broken or redirected pages
  • ๐Ÿ”„ Redirect Detection - Track redirect chains and final destinations to spot unintended or circular redirects
  • โฑ๏ธ Response Time - Measure page load speed in milliseconds to identify slow-loading content
  • โŒ Error Tracking - Capture timeout messages and connection errors with full error details
  • ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Protection Detection - Identify protected URLs that block automated access
  • โœ… Link Status Summary - Get success rates and consolidated reports for broken, working, and slow links

๐Ÿ”ง Input

  • URLs to Check - Provide a list of URLs to validate. Each will be checked for status, redirects, timeouts, and performance issues
  • Request Timeout - Set the maximum wait time for each URL check in milliseconds. Default is 10 seconds, range 1-60 seconds
  • Follow Redirects - Enable or disable following redirect chains to see final destinations. Default is enabled
  • Max Redirects - Control how many redirects to follow before stopping. Default is 10, range 1-50
  • Slow Page Threshold - Define what response time qualifies as slow in milliseconds. Default is 2 seconds, range 100ms-30 seconds

Example input:

{
"urls": ["https://apify.com", "https://example.com", "https://github.com"],

โ“ FAQ

๐Ÿ” 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.

๐Ÿ“Š 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.

๐Ÿ“… 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.

โš–๏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.

๐Ÿ›ก๏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.

โšก 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.

โš ๏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.
