SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Broken links hurt user experience and search rankings, but manually checking every page and outbound link on a website is impractical. This Skill automates the crawl and reports exactly which links fail and where they appear. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Site Crawling: Crawls internal pages of a website starting from a URL you provide. - Broken Link Detection: Identifies links returning 404 or 500 errors, including broken outbound links. - Source Page Reporting: Reports which pages contain each broken link so you can fix them quickly. - Use Case: Before launching a site redesign, run a full link audit to catch dead pages and outdated external references, then hand the report to your content team for remediation. ## Quick Start Check https://example.com for broken links and list each broken URL with the pages where it appears.

Frequently Asked Questions about broken-link-checker

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check my website for broken links?▼

Provide the starting URL of your website and the Skill crawls its internal pages, testing each link it finds. It returns a report of broken links with the source pages where each one appears.

How to find 404 errors on outbound links?▼

The crawler tests outbound links in addition to internal pages and flags any returning 404 or 500 status codes. The report groups broken links by the pages that reference them so you can update or remove them.

Does the broken link checker crawl the whole site?▼

It crawls internal pages starting from the URL you provide, following links within the site. The scope of the crawl depends on the site's internal linking structure from that entry point.

What HTTP errors does a link audit detect?▼

The audit detects client and server errors, primarily 404 not-found and 500 server-error responses. Each failing link is reported alongside the page where it was found.

When should I run a broken link audit?▼

Run an audit before site launches, after content migrations or redesigns, and periodically as part of SEO maintenance. Regular checks catch link rot on outbound references that decay over time.
