Broken Link Checker

Q: Can this tool check all links on my website?

It can extract links from a page when browser access is permitted. Cross-origin restrictions mean full-site crawling is not guaranteed.

Browser security limits HTTP checks on many websites. Syntax mode works offline. HTTP mode attempts real requests where the destination permits cross-origin access. A blocked request does not mean a link is broken.

How It Works

URL syntax validation: checks whether each entry is an absolute HTTP or HTTPS URL.
Duplicate detection: identifies repeated links in your list.
Optional HTTP checks: attempts browser requests and reports available HTTP status codes.
Page link extraction: attempts to fetch a page and extract its links when CORS permissions allow.
CSV reporting: export URLs, validation results, and available HTTP responses for further analysis.

Important: This client-side tool cannot reliably detect every server-side 404, redirect chain, or inaccessible URL. Cross-origin restrictions, firewalls, and network errors can prevent HTTP verification. For a comprehensive whole-site audit, use a crawler or a server-side checking service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a broken link?

A broken link points to a missing or inaccessible resource, often returning a 404 or another unsuccessful HTTP response. A link can also be invalid because its URL is malformed.

Can this tool check all links on my website?

It can extract links from a page if the browser is allowed to fetch that page. Websites commonly restrict cross-origin access, so full-site crawling is not guaranteed.

Why does an HTTP check show an unknown result?

The destination may block cross-origin requests, reject browser requests, or be unreachable. An unknown result is not proof that the link is broken.

Does this tool require an API key?

No. URL parsing, duplicate detection, report generation, and permitted browser requests run directly in your browser.

Why should I fix broken links?

Fixing broken links improves navigation and helps visitors reach the resources they expect. Regular link audits also help website owners maintain content quality.
