Online Broken Checker

The Online Broken Checker is a domain-focused auditing tool for web teams that need to quantify and fix broken links across sites. It targets SEO specialists, content editors, QA engineers, and webmasters who perform regular site health checks or prepare sites for launch. By crawling pages up to a configurable depth and collecting link status data, it provides a repeatable, auditable signal of link integrity that informs remediation priorities and helps reduce user frustration and SEO risk. The output is a structured report of broken URLs, their HTTP status codes, and the pages that reference them, enabling rapid triage and verification.
Conceptually, the tool separates input configuration from the traversal and validation logic. It accepts a site URL, crawl depth, max_page_count, and optional patterns to ignore, then runs a crawl that extracts href attributes, resolves relative links, and filters out non-HTTP resources. For each candidate URL, it issues a HEAD request when supported and falls back to GET if necessary; it marks 4xx/5xx responses or timeouts as broken. The tool deduplicates results, respects per-site limits, and records the page URL that contains each broken link.
Core value comes from accurate scope control, fast turnaround, and structured outputs that teams can feed into workflows. Use cases include pre-launch checks, ongoing site maintenance, migration validation, and SEO audits. Unique differentiators include configurable depth and page limits, explicit per-link context, and exportable reports for CSV/JSON integration. It benefits SEO analysts, content managers, and engineering teams seeking reproducible link health metrics.
