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

User entering a website URL in the scanning tool

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

Bots crawling to website to get URLs

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.

3 URL Validation

Validating all scanned URLs
  • 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.
  • We perform safety checks to detect harmful or suspicious content for the base URL.

4 Custom Text Search

For the paid scan, users can provide 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
