Dead Link Checker FAQs

Question 1

What is Dead Link Checker?

Accepted Answer

Dead Link Checker is a software tool designed to identify broken links, redirects, and timeouts across any website by scanning individual pages, performing deep crawls, or parsing sitemap.xml files.

Question 2

How does Dead Link Checker efficiently find broken links?

Accepted Answer

It fetches target pages, extracts all links, then checks each using efficient parallel batch HTTP HEAD/GET requests with retries. It reports statuses including broken (4xx/5xx), redirects (301/302), and timeouts.

Question 3

Can I scan an entire website or just a single page?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can do both. Dead Link Checker offers features to check all links on a single webpage, recursively deep scan internal pages up to a specified depth, or parse and validate all URLs listed within a sitemap.xml file.

Question 4

What kind of link status information does it provide?

Accepted Answer

For every link found, it provides detailed JSON output including its HTTP status code, status text, any redirection target (redirectTo), response time, and the original location where the link was found.

Question 5

What are the main differences between the Free and Pro versions?

Accepted Answer

The Pro version offers unlimited links per scan, a deeper deep scan depth (up to 3), and CSV export capabilities. The Free version has limits on links per scan (30) and deep scan depth (max 1).
