Link Checker

Last updated: April 2026

Check a page for broken, redirected, or unreachable links with a focused QA workflow built for launches, refreshes, and internal-link cleanup.

Check a live page for broken, redirected, or blocked links without opening each destination manually. This is useful for launch QA, content refreshes, blog cleanups, and utility sites where internal linking needs to stay tidy for users and crawlers.

The checker fetches a page, extracts links, and tests a limited set of targets so you can see obvious issues quickly. It is meant for practical QA, not a massive crawler run.

Meta Tag Checker Audit title tags, meta descriptions, canonicals, robots directives, Open Graph fields, Twitter cards, and H1 usage from a live page or HTML. Sitemap Generator Create a clean XML sitemap from a list of canonical URLs for smaller sites, launches, content refreshes, and practical SEO workflows. Robots.txt Builder Draft a robots.txt file with allow, disallow, crawl-delay, and sitemap directives when you need a clean crawler guidance file fast.

What a focused link check can reveal

A focused link checker catches the issues that break trust fastest: dead internal links, accidental redirects, malformed URLs, and destination pages returning client or server errors. That is often enough to clean up a page before a broader crawl or SEO audit.

It is particularly helpful for sites that are growing quickly, where related tools and supporting content are linked together heavily.

How to use the results

  • Fix broken internal links first because they hurt both UX and crawl paths.
  • Review redirecting internal links and update them to the final destination where possible.
  • Use external-link failures as a prompt to decide whether the outbound reference is still worth keeping.

Best for

  • Focused SEO QA, metadata review, crawl-hint drafting, and quick content extraction.
  • Small to medium sites where a practical browser tool is enough for the task.
  • Pre-launch checks, content refreshes, and maintenance audits.

Not ideal for

  • Full enterprise crawling across very large sites.
  • Deep log analysis, server-side rendering diagnostics, or complex technical SEO suites.
  • Security-sensitive environments where live URL fetching is not appropriate.

What this tool keeps

  • Fast access to the fields and outputs most site owners actually need day to day.
  • Copy-ready XML, robots.txt, and readable content output for the next workflow step.
  • A browser-first interface with lightweight server help only where remote fetching is necessary.

What may need cleanup

  • Live page checks depend on the fetched page being publicly reachable.
  • Reference outputs still need human review before publication on a real site.
  • A focused link check is useful QA, but it is not a full-site crawl replacement.

Common errors

  • Checking a blocked staging page and assuming the tool is broken.
  • Publishing a robots.txt rule without verifying which URLs it affects.
  • Treating a generated sitemap as final without cleaning the URL list first.

Example use cases

  • Audit tags, generate crawl files, extract content, and check links before or after a publish.
  • Support a lightweight SEO workflow without buying a heavy platform.
  • Tidy individual pages and small site sections during launches or refreshes.

Sample input

A live URL, pasted HTML, or a list of canonical URLs prepared for SEO or QA work.

Sample output

A metadata audit, XML sitemap, robots.txt file, readable text block, or link-status report.

Who this is for

  • SEO specialists, developers, marketers, content teams, and site owners doing practical QA work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the link checker work?

It fetches a page, extracts a set of links, and checks whether those destinations respond normally, redirect, or fail.

Is it a full-site crawler?

No. It is a focused page-level QA tool, not a large crawling platform.

Should I check same-host links first?

Yes. Internal links are usually the most urgent fixes for UX and crawl quality, so same-host checks are a good starting point.

What should I do with redirecting internal links?

Review them and update the source link to the final destination when possible.
