Deep dive into each link checking capability and understand how they work together
Intelligent link discovery and extraction from web pages
Auto Discovery uses advanced web crawling techniques to find all links on your website. It analyzes HTML content, extracts href attributes, and normalizes URLs to create a comprehensive list of both internal and external links.
Our system intelligently filters out non-essential links like email addresses, phone numbers, JavaScript links, and file downloads to focus on actual web pages that need to be tested. This ensures you get accurate and actionable results.
Comprehensive HTTP status checking and error detection
Status Validation performs HTTP HEAD requests to each discovered link, checking response codes and measuring response times. This process identifies broken links (404 errors), server errors (5xx), redirects (3xx), and successful responses (2xx).
Our validation system handles various edge cases including timeouts, network errors, and malformed URLs. It provides detailed error messages and categorizes links by their status to help you prioritize fixes and understand your website's link health.
Comprehensive performance metrics and detailed reporting
Performance Analytics provides detailed insights into your website's link performance characteristics. This includes response time measurements, success rates, error analysis, and comprehensive reporting to help you optimize your website's link structure.
Our analytics system categorizes links by type (internal vs external), tracks performance trends, and identifies slow or problematic links. This data helps you make informed decisions about link optimization and website maintenance priorities.
Understanding common link errors and how to fix them effectively
| Status Code | Error Type | What It Means | How to Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 404 | Not Found | The requested page doesn't exist or has been moved | • Check if URL is correct • Look for redirects on the target site • Update or remove the link |
| 403 | Forbidden | Server refuses to serve the content | • Contact website owner about access • Check if authentication is required • Verify the link is meant to be public |
| 500 | Server Error | Website server is experiencing problems | • Wait and try again later • Contact the website administrator • Check if it's a temporary issue |
| 503 | Service Unavailable | Server is temporarily overloaded or down | • Check back later • Verify if it's maintenance • Monitor the site status |
| 301 | Moved Permanently | Page has been permanently moved to a new location | • Update the link to the new URL • Set up a redirect on your site • Check the new location manually |
| 302 | Found (Redirect) | Page temporarily redirects to another location | • Verify the redirect destination • Update to the final URL if needed • Monitor for permanent changes |
| 0 | Network Error | Cannot connect to the server or domain | • Check if domain exists (DNS lookup) • Verify server is running • Check your internet connection • Try accessing from different location |
