Easily find broken and malicious links

Non-working links are annoying and reflect poorly on your professionalism. They not only deter visitors from staying on and returning to your site, but they can also negatively impact your search engine rankings. Even worse than a broken link is a link to a website that causes harm through malware or phishing.

Instead of manually checking all the pages of your site and clicking through all the outgoing links, let Dr. Link Check do the work and give you a report of the links that need your attention.

A single click to check them all

Beginning with a start URL, our bot crawls through the HTML and CSS code of your entire website and examines all the links it can find.

This includes internal page links and outbound links to other websites, as well as links to images, style sheets, and other resource files.
