Description from extension meta

Check My Links is a link checker that crawls through your webpage and looks for broken links.

Image from store Check My Links

Description from store 'Check My Links' is an extension developed primarily for web designers, developers and content editors. When you're editing a web page that has lots of links, wouldn't it be handy to be able to quickly check that all the links on the page are working ok? That's where 'Check My Links' comes in. 'Check My Links' quickly finds all the links on a web page, and checks each one for you. It highlights which ones are valid and which ones are broken, simple as that. You can copy all bad links to your clipboard with one click! HTTP response codes and full URLs of broken links are published in the Console log (Found in: 'Chrome > Tools > Javascript Console' or Ctrl+Shift+J). Comments and feedback are welcome both here and directly to me on Twitter (@chasers). UPDATES Version 3.8.2: Use only activeTab permissions. Link to Logflare in link check stats box. Thanks for the support! Version 3.8.1: Link to Page Modified in link check stats box. Thanks for the support! Version 3.8: Copy to console will now mainly copy to your clipboard (it also still copies to your console just in case). Version 3.7: Now works with local files, bug fixes, copy tweaks, general spring-cleaning (thanks to kyleladd, njablonski, tbrandles, pbx, iamdevelish for this release). Version 3.6: Added optional 'warnings' for empty href attributes, trailing #s and anchor tags. Also, invalid links can now be dumped into the console in CSV format for export (many thanks to Kyle Ladd for this stuff). Version 3.5.1: Sets 'noFollow' default to false on first run & checks for existence of either ID or Name attributes on pages linked to using URL fragments. Version 3.5: Optionally check rel="nofollow" links, anchor links are now also validated, GET is now the default request method and you can now close the report box and re-run the checking process multiple times without any weirdness. Version 3.4: You can now optionally cache valid links (green coloured, HTTP 200). This means the extension will always consider them valid each time you run the checking process, and therefore check only the red (broken) links each time... making page checking A LOT faster (many thanks to Kyle Ladd for this feature). Also, you can click on the cache and method links on the page to quickly get to the options page (allowing you to change the HTTP method and caching settings quickly). The extension also doesn't render multiple times on the page when re-clicking on the extension button. Version 3.3.4: Now allows you to check links in a local file (note this requires the 'Allow access to file URLs' checkbox to be ticked in the Chrome extensions screen). Version 3.3: Bugfixin' Version 3.2: Added the option to choose the HTTP Request Type (HEAD or GET). Version 3.1.2: Fixed blacklist (on the options page) not saving. Version 3.0: You can now add the exclusion list, allowing you manually set URLs you don't want to be indexed (see the options page for the extension). Version 2.3: Skips links when link relation (rel) attribute set to "nofollow" Version 2.2: Skips Google Adsense links

(2023-08-06) Daniel Völk: Good extension, but why is it age restricted?
(2023-06-21) 前田大樹: 動作しません。
(2023-04-03) Abdullah: Good extension but making some changes will make it better. 1. Give alternative colour for redirection links 2. Differentiate internal and external links
(2023-01-21) Indrajeet SEO: at least provide to extract data in form excel.
(2022-09-10) Iva Jovanovic: Wouldn't recomend
(2022-06-13) Brandon Tran: I've been using this extension for several years now. It's working awesome. I just now noticed that the green color for 200 and 302 are very similar and therefore hard to tell which one is 302. Would be awesome if you could customize or change that light green to something else. Maybe Dark forest green :) Cheers y'all. Keep up the good work!
(2022-05-05) Lorenzo: fantastica!!!
(2022-04-07) Miguel Angel Garcia: It doesn't work. It marks in green a lot of invalid links (404).
(2021-01-29) Jesper Frank: Are you interested in DDoS your own site? This tool will provide that service for you.
(2020-12-02) Ferran Buireu: Pese a que estéticamente es bastante horrenda, funciona de maravilla y cumple su función de manera muy rápida y eficaz.
(2020-11-01) Laurenti Arnault: Impossible to notice the difference between valid links and valid redirecting links (colour wise). Change the redirects to light blue. Also, make the links clickable (in the form of a report, see what your competitors are doing).
(2020-10-07) Floris: very useful. Would be even better if it could distinguish between, and visualize, internal and external links
(2020-09-04) David B: Doesn't work at all. Ran it on pages that have know issue, got a clean bill of health…
(2020-07-02) Niloofar Soleimanian: es funktioniert sehr gut
(2020-06-28) srinivas kadiyala: There is no option to extract the valid links.
(2020-03-13) Blaize J: Might work with finding broken links well, but would be much better if it warned you while leading to a dead redirect which is what I was looking for. Though it is useful that it shows which links are redirecting, it's just a slightly different shade of green as the valid ones, so that you may not even be able to know which links it's referring to as well.
(2020-02-19) toto79 casino: <a href="https://powerball1.co.kr" target="blank">파워볼</a> Awesome app
(2019-12-30) Earl Daniels: I've enjoyed using it in the past, but now I am getting multiple 429 (and sometimes 501) errors, apparently from firewall or rate-limiting protection on the server. I think a throttling function might help, but don't see it in the settings. Using "head" checking seems to help a bit, but still get errors that aren't really there.
(2019-09-24) Gear Net Technologies LLC: really nice for my website. https://gntme.com/cisco/
(2019-09-02) Julian: Love this extension! Would you be able to add links that return 301 redirects as maybe a yellow/amber link to this? Would be super handy to flag redirects!
(2019-08-20) Rob: Missed very obvious broken link and reported that they are ok. A waste of time using it if brings back incorrect results. Disappointing
(2019-07-25) 非常有用！网站url改版后，用来检测站内404/301非常方便
(2019-07-04) Raj Grewal: Personally, it works well for me when launching new releases on our website. I can check all links in a click & it appears to be accurate enough to capture all the links it can see.
(2019-06-19) Md Sumon Mia: This extension is awesome this will be definitely help us, thanks- www.jupiterfuture.com
(2019-06-06) Özgür Bagkan: I can not change the Colors :(.
(2019-05-06) Peri V.: Sorry but it finds a lot of 403 links although those pages work fine.
(2019-04-30) Md. Din Islam: It's really helpful extension for finding the broken link...
(2019-04-03) vaibhav sharma: After copying all the invalid links into notepad, by accessing them they all seems to be working. Don't know how is it showing them as a broken. May be I am not using it correctly at all. Anyone has some idea about it?
(2019-03-21) 陳阿搞: the color contrast between "Valid links" and "Valid redirecting links" are too close
(2019-03-10) Michael S.: It keeps saying my twitter links are invalid. Nt sure why...
(2019-02-19) Katie Wood: Easy to use & quite spot on. Only issue is that it marks all Twitter links as invalid, even if they work. I'm a web designer/developer so I've tested many sites and it's always the same result.
(2019-02-01) PMTrading ApS: The best tool for dead links for chrome, i found a lot of dead links for my website https://www.gvibes.dk, would not have found them without this tool.
(2019-01-14) Дмитрий Новиков: Не работает экспорт CSV
(2018-11-12) Dean Payne: Unfortunately the popup link to the results does not work for what ever reason.
(2018-10-31) n s: If it was consistently accurate, the rating would be much better
(2018-10-20) Nishant Kumar: It is really awesome tool and work better than all others tools . I use it for my site. Thanks www.digimanako.com
(2018-10-01) Cyber Sense: This app is so good that i couldn't explain how much this app save my time. It just simply check all the broken or dead links.
(2018-09-19) Lydia Ranallo: I really do link the tool but it would be nice if you were able to click on the vaild or invalid links in the box. Sometimes this tool will tell me I have two invalid links on my site but i wont be able to see where those are... For example I'll have one invalid link which would be highlighted in red but I don't see the red on my website anywhere.
(2018-07-19) Francisco Gutiérrez: it is imperative Only one thing. Only fail with a link to my twitter account something weird
(2018-06-27) ranny joe: really dont know how best to use this, tried countless number of times in clicking the icon to check my link but its unresponsive
(2018-06-13) Gavin Compton: If a URL redirects to a broken URL, it's marked as valid. This is not helpful. If the user ends up on a 404 error I want to know about it.
(2018-05-31) Anil Valvi: One of the best tool. It works very well..Thank you so much Paul,You saved lots of time :)

(2023-07-11, v:3.8.2) Jason Richmond: need to rate limit the extension - getting 429 errors
I need to slow down the link checker - I am getting HTTP 429 errors due to scanning too fast.
(2023-06-07, v:3.8.2) Channel RunOps: Status of all links are not visible in the result
Status of all links are not visible in the result. I make test... I want to analyze my page, I know than I have +/- 50 Links on my page and when I check with the extension, there is only 2 links result.
(2023-05-26, v:3.8.2) Norland Zhang: Do not visit all links at once
This is a very good plug-in, it would be even better if there is a function to delay opening links one by one
(2022-09-19, v:3.8.2) Amanda Hull: Invalid Links?
I, like other people here, am having issues with this extension. I hope that you will actually answer but am hesitant to get my hopes up seeing as how you don't answer anyone it seems like. Why make an extension if you aren't going to offer support when someone needs it. - Anyways, I run the extension on the page I'm assessing links for, and it highlights the good and bad links, but I went through the whole website and fixed all the links that were in red but its still saying there are 3 links that are bad but nothing is highlighted in anything but green.... Whats the deal? How do I find these last 3 links if they aren't being highlighted red???
(2022-09-07, v:3.8.2) Deane Alban: IP Address banned
I was using your Link Checker extension and my IP address got banned by PubMed . I have many outbound links to this site. I use your extension a few times a year, and this is the first time this has happened. PubMed is accusing me of violating their copyright laws. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/about/copyright/) When I uninstalled your extension, the ban was automatically lifted. Thought you'd want to know you have a potential problem here.
(2022-06-26, v:3.8.2) Charles Richard Davis Jr (Chuck): Links
After looking at this I may have a different objective that what this is designed for but it is intriguing. I am looking for links history and I have a feeling this has something to do with individual links in a page, which I want to pursue as well.. Where can I find guidance on your extension?
(2022-06-26, v:3.8.2) Charles Richard Davis Jr (Chuck): Packing this extension in Google Chrome
I just down loaded your extension in Google Chrome and am anxious to use it. I started to pack it and am not sure what your root directory is. Where can I find your root directory for this. Below is the instruction box to pack and extension straight out of Google Chrome. Pack extension Select the root directory of the extension to pack.

(2021-08-06, v:3.8.2) Martin Janoušek: Proposal to correct the deficiency
Hello. We liked your supplement. Unfortunately, it cannot detect a badly typed link if it is in plain text form - see the format: <a href="any text">anchor</a> (in this form, it marks it as a "valid link"). Would it be possible to fix this shortcoming? Thank you
(2021-07-19, v:3.8.2) Joel Friedman: Show warning for malformed links - extra space trailing before or after
As said, as a user I would like to find if my posts have any spaces before or after the link text. I also found some where the space is the only anchor text which is likely malformed. That could be a good trigger for a warning. Thank you
