PathIntact crawls your live docs on a schedule. When a link, anchor, redirect or sitemap breaks, you get the exact change to make.
Free check of 50 pages. No account.

Anchor #install is missing on /docs/quickstart
The heading was renamed. #installation exists on the page and matches the link text. Change the fragment on the three linking pages.

Linked from /docs/cli/overview, /docs/sdks/node and /guides/first-deploy.
A build-time link checker reads your source once and passes. PathIntact reads the site people actually visit, on a schedule, and finds what changed since.

Why it stayed green
docs/quickstart.md - ## Install + ## Installation docs/cli/overview.md, line 41 [Install the CLI](/docs/quickstart#install) unchanged
The link lives in a different file and never changed, so nothing flagged it. The anchor was gone the moment the deploy finished.

14
issues found across 31 daily crawls, each with its fix.
External link npmjs.com/package/acme-cli returns 404 from three pages.
The package was renamed. Point it at npmjs.com/package/@acme/cli.
Anchor #install is missing on /docs/quickstart.
The heading was renamed. Use #installation.
/docs/v1/auth now returns 404.
Add a redirect to /docs/authentication.
The sitemap lists four URLs that redirect.
Replace them with the final URLs.
/docs/guides/webhooks lost its last inbound link.
Link it from the Guides sidebar.
Three-hop redirect chain on /docs/cli/login.
Point the first redirect at the final URL.
and eight more, each with the fix.
Each issue names the page, the pages that link to it, and the exact change. When a redirect is the answer, you get a snippet in your platform's own format where it has one, and in your host's format otherwise: nine in all, from vercel.json to .htaccess.

Redirect chain
First seen Mon 06:12
/docs/cli/login takes three hops to landIt redirects to /docs/cli/auth, then to /docs/cli/authentication. Point the first redirect and the six links that use it straight at the final URL.
Also caught: broken internal links, broken anchors, orphan pages, redirect loops, links that land on a redirect, sitemap URL errors and drift, noindex pages in the sitemap, pages missing from it, soft 404s, missing or duplicate titles and descriptions, canonical problems, links to an old docs version, missing or multiple H1s, and broken og:images. Twenty-two checks on the live site. External link checking is on from Starter up, and two of the checks compare against your previous crawl, so they start on the second one.
Enter your docs URL. PathIntact detects the platform, reads the sitemap and runs a first crawl in minutes.
Verify you own it with a DNS record, a meta tag or a file. Nothing changes on your site.
Pick where alerts go: email, Slack or a webhook. The next crawl runs on schedule, and every one after.
A link problem has to fail on two crawls, or on a recheck ten minutes later, before it becomes an issue. You get one alert when it is confirmed and one when it is resolved, and nothing in between. A weekly digest sums up what is still open; turn it off if you would rather only hear about changes.
