Broken links crawls your site on a schedule, daily or weekly, and checks every page it finds, the links on those pages and their images.

What it flags

  • Pages that answer with a 4xx or 5xx error, or don't answer.
  • Internal and external links that point at missing pages.
  • Images that fail to load.
  • Redirect chains with more than one hop, and redirect loops that never resolve.

Reading the issues

Each row shows the page the problem was found on and the URL that failed, with its status code and when it was first and last seen. Filter by type, status code or state. An issue is marked fixed when the next crawl checks that page and the problem is gone.

Controleer je begrip

A link goes through three redirects before it reaches the right page. What's the best fix?

Alerts and Workflows

When a crawl finds new issues the team gets an in-app alert, and Workflows and webhooks receive a new issues event, so you can open a task or post to a channel automatically.
