How "Verify My Link" Works

Verify My Link is an automated website link checker that helps you identify broken or unreachable URLs on your site. Whether you're a developer, marketer, or site owner, our tool provides a hassle-free way to ensure your visitors aren’t hitting dead ends.

1. User Input

The user begins by entering their website’s homepage or a specific URL they want to scan. Our system accepts both HTTP and HTTPS formats.

2. Crawling the Website

Once the scan begins, our crawler navigates through the page just like a browser would, identifying internal and external hyperlinks. It simulates a user’s interaction using headless browser technology (e.g., Selenium with Chrome Headless).

3. URL Validation

• We check each link’s HTTP response status.
• Dead links (404, 500 errors) are flagged immediately.
• We also detect issues like redirects, timeout errors, and blocked URLs.

4. Custom Text Search

For the paid scan, user can give custom text to find particular text in any of the scanned pages.

5. Reporting

After analysis, we generate a detailed report including:

• List of working and non-working URLs
• HTTP status codes
• Parent URL reference

6. Free & Paid Scans

We offer both free and paid scans to accommodate various needs. Here’s what each option provides:
