Is Broken Link Checker free to use?

Yes. Broken Link Checker is free, has no usage cap and does not require an account. There is no paid tier that unlocks extra output.

Does my data get uploaded to a server?

No. The tool is a JavaScript function that runs inside your browser tab. Nothing you paste or drop in is transmitted, logged or stored by us.

Do I need to create an account?

No account, no email address and no sign-in. Open the page and start working.

Does it work on a phone or tablet?

Yes. The interface is responsive and works in mobile Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox and Samsung Internet. You can also install Toolspea as an app from the browser menu.

Can I use the output commercially?

Yes. You keep every right you already had over the input, and we claim nothing over the output.

Does it crawl my whole site?

No, it checks the links on the single page you enter. Use the Sitemap URL Extractor to gather page URLs and check them one at a time.

Why did a working link report an error?

Some servers block non-browser requests or throttle repeated calls. Open the URL yourself to confirm before removing it.

Website tools

Broken Link Checker

Check every link on a page and list the ones that fail.

Public pages only. Toolspea fetches the page for you because a browser tab cannot read another origin directly — nothing you enter is stored.

What is Broken Link Checker?

Broken Link Checker fetches a public page, extracts the links it contains, then requests each one and reports the HTTP status. Links that return an error status or cannot be reached are grouped separately so you can fix them.

How to use it

1Paste the page whose links you want to test.
2Run the check — links are requested one by one.
3Review the broken list first, then the working links.
4Fix or remove the failing URLs in your CMS.

Features

Checks internal and external links from a single page
Reports the HTTP status and any redirect hops
Separates hard failures from healthy responses

When people use it

Content maintenance

Run it over an old article before re-promoting it to catch dead references.

Pre-launch QA

Confirm a new landing page has no typo'd or placeholder links.

Known limits

Links are checked from Toolspea's fetcher, so sites that rate-limit automated traffic can report a false failure.
A capped number of links per run keeps the check fast; check long pages in sections.
