Broken Link Checker: 404s with Page and Anchor, Only New Ones
Finds the links on your website that no longer work and tells you where to fix them: the page, the anchor text and how often the link appears. On a schedule it reports only newly broken links, so a clean week stays quiet.
Typical uses: a weekly link check for your site · cleaning up after a relaunch · finding dead partner and affiliate links · a link report for an agency client.
What makes it different
- Refused is not broken. A link that answers 401, 403 or 429 refused an automated check. Most checkers call that broken. Here it is
problem: blocked, so your list of real problems stays real. - Only new problems. With
onlyNewa scheduled run writes just what broke since the last run, and the site summary counts what was fixed. - Polite by design. The Actor names itself, follows robots.txt on every host, including external ones, and never sends parallel requests to one host.
Input example
Output
One row per problem, plus one free site-summary row per site.
problem | Meaning |
|---|---|
broken | 404, 410 or another 4xx answer |
server-error | 5xx, also after one retry |
timeout, dns-error, tls-error, network-error | No usable answer |
blocked | 401, 403, 429: the site refused the check, the link may well work |
redirect | Works but redirects (only with includeRedirects) |
Pricing
Pay per event: one charge per unique link checked, however many pages link to it. A page opened for the crawl counts as its own link check. Links skipped because of robots.txt, site-summary rows and problem rows cost nothing extra. maxLinks caps every run. A site without problems still costs its checks, because checking is the work.
Honest limits
- Reads the HTML as delivered. Links that only appear after JavaScript runs are not seen.
- Links in
robots.txt-disallowed areas are not checked and are counted innotCheckedByRobots. If robots.txt cannot be reached (5xx or no answer), nothing on that host is opened. maxPagesandmaxLinkscan end a scan early: the summary then sayscomplete: false, andonlyNewkeeps remembering what it did not reach.- One host is checked one request at a time with at least 200 ms between requests, so large sites take a while. Raise the run timeout if needed.
- Check sites you own or may check. Private and local addresses are refused.
