Broken link checker with source and position
Find internal and external links to 4xx and 5xx URLs together with the page that links to them, the template area (content, footer, navigation) and the XPath.
Broken link checker with source and position
Fix the template, not every page
Position tells you when a broken link sits in a shared footer or navigation block.
Broken link checker with source and position
Link hygiene
Fragments that point nowhere, unsafe target=_blank links, links inside headings and image links without text.
Three steps, one saved scan
Check one page or the whole site
links-check tests the links on one page live. crawl-site walks the site from a start URL and stores the result for a full audit.
See where each broken link sits
With Screaming Frog Inlinks exports, each broken link is listed with its source page, link position and XPath.
Fix the shared block once
Each broken destination lists every page that links to it, so a broken footer or menu link is fixed in one template.
