Website Redirect & Health Auditor

Bulk-check public URLs after a site migration, deployment, CMS change, domain move, or content release.

This Actor focuses on URL-level technical health rather than broad SEO scoring. Each saved row is one auditable URL result with evidence that can be exported to CSV/JSON/Excel or consumed by CI and monitoring workflows.

Checks

• Final HTTP status and standard status text
• Full redirect chain, including each hop and destination
• HTTPS-to-HTTP downgrade detection
• End-to-end response time
• Canonical URL and meta robots on HTML pages
• Basic response security headers: HSTS, CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy
• robots.txt permission when enabled
• Machine-readable findings with severity, code, and concrete action
• Clear distinction between healthy, redirect, broken, and warning results

Safe by default

Only public HTTP(S) URLs on ports 80/443 are allowed. Hostnames are resolved before every request and redirect; localhost, private, link-local, reserved and other non-global addresses are rejected. Redirects are capped at five and every destination is revalidated. HTML reads are capped at 2 MB.

No cookies, logins, private pages, credentials, browser automation, CAPTCHA bypass, or private-network access are supported.

Example

{
  "urls": [
    "https://example.com/",
    "http://example.com/"
  ],
  "maxUrls": 2,
  "timeoutSeconds": 20,
  "checkPageSignals": true,
  "respectRobotsTxt": false
}

Use respectRobotsTxt: true for recurring audits of sites where robots rules should govern automated checks.

Output

Important fields include inputUrl, finalUrl, statusCode, resultType, severity, responseTimeMs, redirectChain, canonicalUrl, metaRobots, securityHeaders, findings, and error details.

A broken URL is still a successful audit result: it is exactly the condition the Actor is meant to detect.

Pricing

The release price is $0.002 per audited URL ($2 per 1,000 URL results). Pay-per-event budget limits are honored before additional results are saved. Check the live Pricing tab because store pricing can change over time.

Good use cases

• Post-deployment smoke checks
• Domain and URL migrations
• Bulk redirect validation
• Scheduled uptime/content health checks
• QA pipelines that need structured evidence rather than a screenshot
• Agencies validating client URL lists before handoff

Limitations

This is not a browser renderer or full Core Web Vitals suite. JavaScript-only canonical/meta changes may not appear. Network blocking, rate limiting, robots restrictions, or TLS errors are reported rather than bypassed.
