Docs link checker

Crawl up to 50 pages of a documentation site and get a health score with the top issues: broken internal and external links, broken anchors, orphan pages, redirect chains, sitemap problems, soft 404s, duplicate titles and more, each with a concrete fix.

We crawl pages under this path, up to 50.

Free, no signup. Limits: 5 runs per hour per visitor, 50 pages or 500 URLs per run. Results expire after 7 days.

How it works

  1. Enter the docs root URL, for example https://docs.example.com or https://example.com/docs.
  2. We read robots.txt and your sitemap, crawl up to 50 pages and status-check the links they contain.
  3. You get a score out of 100 and the issues sorted by severity. Sign up to see everything and to be alerted when it breaks again.

FAQ

How is the health score calculated?
It starts at 100. Per 100 pages crawled, each critical issue subtracts 5 points, each warning 2 and each notice 0.5. Sites under 50 pages are scored as if they had 50, so one problem on a small site does not zero the score, and it never goes below 0.
Will it slow down my site?
No. The crawler uses at most 3 concurrent requests per host with a 250 ms delay, honours robots.txt and Crawl-delay, and identifies itself as PathIntactBot.
Why only 50 pages?
The free check is a sample. Paid plans crawl up to 25,000 pages per site on a schedule and only alert on confirmed changes.
