# Website audit: broken pages, redirects, noindex and slow pages

**Use case:** 

A quick technical audit of a whole website: every page from the sitemap is checked for broken pages, soft 404s, redirects and redirect chains, noindex, canonical problems and slow answers. Only the pages with problems are saved, so the list is short and ready to fix.

## Input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.vipps.no"
  ],
  "checkUrls": true,
  "findBrokenLinks": false,
  "checkExternalLinks": true,
  "linkResults": "broken",
  "onlyIssues": true,
  "maxUrls": 150,
  "maxLinks": 10000,
  "perHostConcurrency": 4,
  "maxConcurrency": 20
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "url": {
    "label": "URL",
    "format": "link"
  },
  "statusCode": {
    "label": "Status",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "issues": {
    "label": "Issues",
    "format": "array"
  },
  "finalUrl": {
    "label": "Ends at",
    "format": "link"
  },
  "title": {
    "label": "Title",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "lastmod": {
    "label": "Last modified",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "responseTimeMs": {
    "label": "Time (ms)",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "source": {
    "label": "Found in",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "foundOn": {
    "label": "Linked from",
    "format": "array"
  }
}
```

### 2. Start the "Website audit: broken pages, redirects, noindex and slow pages" task

The Sitemap Extractor, URL Status and Broken Link Checker Actor will start running based on the input automatically. You can also change all the input fields, like websites or sitemaps, check each url, and more, to match your specific use case.

### 3. Receive the "Website audit: broken pages, redirects, noindex and slow pages" output

Monitor the progress in real time. You will be notified as soon as your dataset is complete and ready for review. Each result includes data such as URL, status, issues, and more.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Sitemap Extractor, URL Status and Broken Link Checker](https://apify.com/vindr/sitemap-url-checker.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/vindr/sitemap-url-checker.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/vindr/sitemap-url-checker.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
