Website Broken Link Checker
- Browser-based
- No signup
This website broken link checker crawls links from a starting URL and reports HTTP errors, redirects, and timeouts. Run pre-launch QA or post-migration audits without installing desktop software.
Fix internal 404s first—they waste crawl budget and hurt UX; external broken links may need archive.org replacements.
100% Client-Side
Your data never leaves your computer.
How to use this tool
Enter starting URL, run check, review broken and redirected links, fix hrefs, rescan.
Worked example
Example: scan homepage before launch—three footer links return 404 after URL restructure.
When to use this
- Pre-launch site QA.
- After CMS migration.
- Monthly maintenance on content-heavy sites.
Common examples
- Blog post HTML → flags `/old-pricing` returning 404 in the footer.
- Resource page with 15 outbound links → surfaces two 403 partner URLs blocked to bots.
- Post-migration homepage → confirms `/docs/getting-started` redirects but `/docs/api` is 404.
- Email newsletter archive paste → finds `http://` mixed-content links that fail on HTTPS site.
- Affiliate page QA → catches truncated URL missing trailing slash before publish.
- Internal wiki export → lists broken image `src` paths still pointing at retired CDN host.

How it works
Extract links from HTML or a fetched page, then send HEAD requests to check HTTP status codes. Broken or unreachable links are listed in a results table.
Limitations
Checks up to 20 unique URLs per run. Cross-origin pages may block HEAD requests from the browser (CORS), so paste HTML when live fetch fails. Status codes reflect what your browser can reach—not a server-side crawl.
Privacy and file handling
Your data is processed in your browser and is not uploaded to our server.
Important notice
Link checks run from your browser and may be blocked by CORS or rate limits. Only the first 20 unique URLs are tested per run.
