Understanding Link Health Checks
Find Dead Links
Catch 404s and other broken responses before your users or search engines find them.
Content Audits
Verify outbound links in an old blog post or resource page still work before republishing.
Redirect Awareness
See at a glance whether a link redirects before reaching its final, working destination.
Server-Side Fetch
Requests originate from our server, not your browser, avoiding CORS restrictions and exposing your IP.
What Counts as "Broken"?
This tool treats any response with a status code of 400 or higher as broken. A successful 2xx response, or a 3xx that eventually resolves to a 2xx, is reported as OK. Note that some sites block automated requests entirely (returning 403), which reflects a bot-blocking policy rather than an actually broken link for real visitors.
Key Takeaways
- Full Status Detail: See the exact HTTP status code, not just a pass/fail result.
- Redirect Chain Awareness: Automatically follows safe redirects to report the true final status.
- SSRF-Protected: Every fetch (including redirect hops) is validated to resolve to a public IP address only.
