Broken Link Checker

A SEO tool to find broken (404) and redirected (301, 307, 308) links in all frames
What is Broken Link Checker?
"Broken Link Checker" is an Edge add-on that scans all links within a webpage - including top frame and sub-frames - to locate any broken or redirected links. It then categorizes the findings based on status codes. Users can specify which links to ignore, and opt to deeply search within a website by defining the extension to parse all links of the same domain. It increases link validation speed by evaluating 5 links simultaneously, and makes detection of broken links easier by placing them in a separate category.
