Free Link Checker — Fast, Accurate Broken Link Finder
What it does
- Scans websites, sitemaps, and lists of URLs to find broken links (4xx/5xx), redirects, and slow responses.
- Verifies internal and external links separately so you can prioritize fixes that affect user experience and SEO.
Key features
- Fast crawl: Parallel requests and smart throttling to scan large sites quickly without overloading servers.
- Accurate detection: Follows redirects, checks HTTP status codes, validates SSL/TLS, and reports timeouts.
- Filterable results: Show only errors, warnings (e.g., slow responses, redirects), or specific URL patterns.
- Exportable reports: CSV/JSON export of link lists with status, response time, and source page.
- Sitemap & CSV support: Upload a sitemap or CSV of URLs to target specific pages.
- Integration: API or webhook support for automated monitoring and integration with CI/CD or issue trackers.

- Regular SEO audits to find and fix broken links that hurt rankings.
- Post-migration checks after site redesigns or domain changes.
