Links
Broken link checker
Clients click the broken one. It is rarely the link you just tested.
GlitchCatch samples up to 12 links on the homepage and requests each one. A 404, a 410, or a server error counts as broken. Login walls and 403s are left alone.
It is a sample, not a crawl of the whole site. Use it to catch the obvious damage, then monitor the homepage so the next broken link does not wait for a client email.
This check looks for
- Homepage links
- 404 and 410 responses
- Servers that do not answer
