Shadow Steward
Free broken link check

Do the links on your website still work?

Type your website address. We open up to sixty of the links on the page, the way a visitor would, and list every one that is broken, refused or goes through a detour.

We check the page you type. Add a page address to check that page instead of the home page.

We read your public page the way a visitor's browser would. Nothing is changed and nothing is stored. Read the privacy page.

What the check looks at

  • Links to your own pages. Menu, footer and body links that return an error.
  • Links to other websites. Sites that have moved or closed since you linked to them.
  • Detours. Links that redirect first, which slows visitors down.
  • Refusals. Sites that block automatic visits, listed so you can test them by hand.

You get each broken link and what to do about it.
